Purpose and fitment for Mini

The presented wheel has been developed specifically for Mini vehicles, particularly the popular Cooper R50 and R56 generations. The rim construction is adapted to the suspension parameters of these models, which promotes stable handling, predictable steering response, and proper interaction with the braking system. As a result, the wheel performs well in both daily city driving and more dynamic road use.

Aluminium construction and driving characteristics

The wheel belongs to the Wheels category and is made of a lightweight aluminium alloy, which reduces unsprung mass compared to steel solutions. A lighter rim promotes better suspension response to road irregularities and can also positively influence ride comfort and steering precision. The aluminium construction also makes it easier to keep the wheel clean, and the grey color masks typical operational dirt, which is practical for everyday use.

Double Spoke pattern and aesthetic values

The Double Spoke pattern stands out with its twin spokes, which give the rim a more technical, sporty character. This styling harmonizes well with the compact silhouette of the Mini, emphasizing the car's dynamic profile. The grey finish of the wheel is versatile and modern, allowing the rim to match many body color configurations without visually overpowering the other styling elements of the car.

Mounting parameters and compatibility

The wheel has specific mounting parameters, such as diameter, width, offset, bolt pattern, and the number of mounting holes. These have been selected to ensure proper seating on the hub, appropriate wheel arch filling, and safe interaction with the Mini's chassis. Before purchasing, it is worth comparing these values with your currently used rims or the vehicle manufacturer's data to maintain full compatibility with tires and suspension components.

Product condition and practical application

The wheel is offered as used, which means it has already been in service on a vehicle but can still perform its function as a component of the chassis. This type of rim works well both as a replacement for a damaged wheel and as a base for potential visual refurbishment. It can be used in a set with other wheels of the same pattern or as a single element to complete a set.

Expanding Mini wheel configurations
