I can't find wheels for my Mini!!

Guys, vendors - need your assistance.

I'm looking to put new wheels on the Cooper S. I just have one problem! I can't find a wheel that fits my criteria!

I'm looking for an 18"x7.5 wheel that has the 4x100 bolt pattern(none of these universal fittings with a 10 holes). It must be quite lightweight. I don't want to fork out that much on wheels for a Mini either.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Generally, you should stick with 17"s on the Mini in order to maintain the driving characteristics and nimbleness.
I've got Oz Ultraleggera on mine.

Thanks PorscheF - are those 17"s on the car pictured above?

I quite like these ones, problem is nobody brings them in here. I'd need to import them myself. Which vendors here supply these wheels?

Pretty sure Wheel boutique does. Oz is a big brand so most vendors should have them.

Mike: I think these look good. 18" John Cooper Works R113 Wheels. Available in two colors: Gloss black, and polished (shown.) The 18" JCW R105 also look good. Both of these are 18 X 7. You should be able to order them at any dealer.

Mike, Damon at TireRack carries those OZ's if I recall correctly.
