None to be honest.

Mini and Metro PCD is unique to them as far as I know. Maestro/Montego wheels may fit theoretically, but look shite and probably too big/offset to fit in the radius arms/arches anyway.

Yes, they will fit a Mini but are hugely offset and look shit.

Your stuck with Rover alloys or aftermarket specific alloys I am afraid!

you could have adapters made up to adapt the pcd/offset by your machine shop but this will cost a fair wack lol

It also will likely mean you go through wheel bearings at a rate of knots.

metro wheels are more inset than minis,so can be used with spacers

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

Mini and Metro PCD is measuered in inches. 4x4" where most are now in mm, so only old bl stuff really, and like vegard said imp.

why would you wanna put anything other than mini wheels on anyway ? nothing else looks right in my opinion, i have seen em with aftermarket rover wheels 14`s what i seen and they look horrible, bit like chavs putting Venom wheels on nova`s minis should only have mini wheels never exceed 13" just my thoughts....

I know you either love them or hate them, but I'd only EVER put Minilight style wheels on a Mini of mine!

I could be tempted with some ATS cups on my mini. Quite big in the vw scene but not seen many on Minis!! Either that or some nice 10" split rims!

I was looking for all sorts of alternatives but in the end I have to agree with Tom - Minilight style wheels rule. I ended up with some 6x12 deep dish ones.
