will the pana's on the new minicoopers fit?

[Johnny Quest]

hey guys got a question ( i guess thats why i posting :shock: )
but anyways i know panasports fit really good, but what about the panasports of the minicoopers?

[supra8215]

do all the minis have the panasports or is it a over the sees things...i love those cars i guess i never looked at the rims...if they do i guess im gonna go talk some owners into gettin some new rims :lol:

[dogstar]

um, count the bolts... this is a pretty simple question if your capable of... oh, about first grade math.

5 does not equal 4.
last new cooper i looked at had 5 wee little bolts holding the wheels on, our cars, do not.

so, to answer your question simply, no.
you could of course buy adaptors, which will change the offset and bolt pattern, but they arent cheap, usually 400+ dollars per set, this is in addition to whatever the wheels cost to start with, probably at least 200-300 dollars from some cooper owner.
instead you can just go buy panasports for something like 150 a wheel, which will be made to fit our cars properly.

ok thanks....
i didnt know those little suckers had 5 lugs... sorry...
150 a wheel isnt that bad....ima check that out

i think you counted one two many lugs dude. well here, i've seen 4lugged pana's on some mini's over here. and here is a link that shows a 4lug mini,

even this guy counted 4, i don't know looks like 4 to me, too, but to be sure here is another pic:

it also helps to count the lugs when the car isn moving.(im assuming)

its okay, apology accepted. :D :lol: :shock: :!:

The wheels on Minis aren't Panasports. They've been using Minilite wheels since the 60's.

Stock SLite wheel. 4 lugs :)

They have ~50mm offset, and a different bolt pattern, so they will not fit.

[Johnny Quest]

thats all i wanted to know, preciated guys...just noticed that they look very similiar to pana's even though they arent pana's. preciate the clarification.
-John Q.- :D :lol:

[dogstar]
