That's what I thought also but American Racing only lists 17x7. Those look wider. Anyone know the tire size on it?

The wheel centers don't look the same...look at the center of the wheel inside of the lugs...the wheel on the car is just flush but the wheel shown below has a raised center section. Also the outer wheel lips are slightly different - look where and how the spokes meet the outer lip and how each wheel lip is stepped.

Default Wheels

The wheels look like either later production Mini-lites or Panasports and most likely they are 15X7 or maybe 15X8, judging by the old BFG T/A's.

Check out Vintage Wheel works;

I believe it's the style 48 (Or close to it), but they carry some REAL wheels. 17X11 and down. Custom offsets are standard.

Let me know if these are right?

Thanks,

Ty

You are correct, it's the 48. I've been looking at these wheels but was hoping to find something closer to the original Mini. These have straight spokes and a ridge around the center. However it looks like this may be my only option in different widths and the larger size. They said they were coming out with an 18" soon. Thanks

Try Team III wheels. http://www.etwheels.com/

They have a 17" (LT-III) rim that looks like the minilites and is available in 11" width.
