Someone offered me a set of these alloys in silver in good condition with nearly new tyres for a reasonable price. What do you guys think? I’m on the fence at the moment.

The center caps will be wrong. Can anyone here do a quick shop for you?

The centre caps are an easy fix, just get some vinyl renault badges printed, cut them to shape and stick them over the mini badges. I might be able to do the shop myself later on. We did take one off and lean it next to my car though, looked good but not sure it’s the look I want to go for.

Before you do anything make sure they actually fit!

The outside diameter is different so my speedo reading will be slightly out (would display 80mph at 85mph) but the bolt pattern and offset are fine. Just need to make sure the centre fits over my hubs, I can test fit them before putting money down anyway.

Are you sure? I get an offset of 29 mm for the Twingo and 45 or 50 for the Mini, depending on the year. This means the Mini wheels will be further inward. The hub diameter is different too (Twingo 60.1, Mini 56.1). Unless my comparison website is off, obviously.

I did find that the offset was different but close enough, I am worried about the hub diameter though. I’ll just have a test fit to save me the trouble of looking for all the measurements.
