New wheels and tyres for my Mini BUT buying them was a minefield !

Time for the first major modification to my 2019 Mini JCW Clubman...new wheels and tyres.
There is a lot to consider when changing or upgrading your wheels and tyres. Size, offset, wheel spacing, PCD, ET numbers, tyre fitment, TMPS to name but a few. In this video I explain some of the basics but I would always suggest working with a specialist that knows your type of car.
In my case I worked with my good friends at Lohen Mini. If you are looking to change the wheels on your Mini then give them a call.

Really don't like your new wheels. Sorry.

Love those new wheels. Seems they bring out an extreme love versus hate reaction, which means they MUST be an awesome choice!

Hi Mate, really sorry to be a ( party pooper ) But I seriously loved the look of your old wheels. Only my own personal opinion obviously. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@vxrbandit2527]

I agree

[@markevans8688]

Have to agree OZ look look great but much prefer the originals

[@stevie007]

Personal opinion but much prefer the originals, but your car, your choice.

[@andrewdent696]

I agree

[@faisalleeds]

Nice to see someone actually explain the wheel sizes/options. This was useful. There is a lot of choice but it is a massive cost to change all wheels, tyres, valves etc.

[@PetrolPed]

That was the idea of the video so I am glad it helped 👍

[@bill7481]

The car looks good, but I actually like the Mini wheels better.

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks All good 👍

[@Sly_Wolf_1]

Totally agree, and if your going to change the wheels then why spec the optional wheels only to replace them. Plus although they new wheels are nice, i hate all black wheels. But each to their own.

[@chucknorris1920]

I am not a fan of the 19 inch factory wheels, the 18's look better. Finding aftermarket was a challenge for me for the F54 JCW and I ended up custom ordering 3-piece wheels to clear the BBK.

[@nevillegreg1]

Each to their own, if you want something different to other mini owners, then fair enough, but I prefer the looks of the stock wheels. Your car, your choice.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers 👍

[@michaelhayward5385]

Those OZ wheels are awesome though I must admit when I saw them on I was liking the originals slightly more. Would be nice to see a mock up of white and red alloys on your clubman to compare. Great vid as usual

[@robbalex1963]

[@GenaF]

It'd be great if Lohen had an app/website whereby they load in a pic of the car, like the mini configurator which shows the model you've chosen with your extras on including wheels and you can turn the car to see it from different angles, and then be able to 'virtually' add each type of wheel to the car. My priority for my mini, 'The black panther' is to change the tyres from whatever was on at purchase. I'm not bothered about changing my wheels tho.

[@yodings]

To actually see how not to waste money on a mini is such a breath of fresh air, honestly makes me sooo confident in buying second hand minis.

[@philhicks5818]

I know this is a channel with honest views , but the originals for me , I personally think all black wheels look to small on any Mini because of the black wheel arches , they tend to lose them selves . If you get what I mean , the originals look bigger being two colours . Please don’t shoot me down 🙈

[@PetrolPed]

That’s all good mate. I know they won’t be for everyone 👍

[@chucknorris1920]

A flatter black looks better than a gloss black as the contrast is better to show detail.

[@dingjs1969]

i'm always a big fan of people who give me free stuff!

[@haroldhdknoxstreet-glide5331]

Yes lowering or 20“ rims 😉 Lohen is the Place to go... Written them already that I’ll be there one of those days...😎 thanks to You Peter

[@PetrolPed]

Great to hear 👍

[@thechef22]

Those wheels look fantastic! I'm gonna look into those for mine. I picked up my JCW Clubman a month ago (your videos had a lot to do with my purchase haha) and I'm absolutely in love with it.

[@PetrolPed]

That is great to hear 👍

[@ObsLevelCrossings]

Agree on tyre choice but not the wheels.. never been a fan of these types ... think it cheapens the look of the car... just my opinion.. great informative video though and love all the other lockdown mods you’ve done! Springs next and Remus back box I hope!?🤩

[@PetrolPed]

Yes to both 👍

[@H.K_R]

Looks great, I'm writing this while my dad is collecting his new 2018 MINI 1499GT in pepper white So excited!!

[@PetrolPed]

That will be nice 👍

[@dj_paultuk7052]

Good choice !. My son fitted those exact wheels to his old Saab 9000 a few weeks back. They do look good. Very light too !.

[@ginny1068]

Oh yes! Excellent choice. I am a "wheelie," this video content is nothing but happiness :) They look fantastic, the total set up. Drive safe!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Ginny 👍

[@aidanwilson6035]

Too much black on the car for me , i'm afraid , prefer the silver contrast of the original wheels , still love the Clubman's combination of practicality , design and driving dynamics !.

[@JohnnyZenith]

Totally agreed.

[@MotechPerformance]

Wheels look great 🏆🏆 and we need to talk 😉

[@PetrolPed]

Waiting for a date 😜👍

[@whichdoctor4858]

Like the old wheels but the new wheels show off the red callipers. New black wheels and red centre caps look great!

[@glennflanagan2829]

Initially I was thinking you are mad to change your wheels but after they were on I think they are absolutely fabulous. Best of luck with them. 👍

Loved this, bet it took you a while to choose the ones you wanted ! Charlie looks even more stunning with her new wheels can’t wait to see a video of her on the road with them.

It was love at first sight. I just needed to get them 😂

[@carguyuk7525]

I bought Oz racing superleggera a few years ago for my Westfield Seight.. They were 15" and only 4.9kg each. Massive benefit with regards unsprung weight. Also the look great. Another great video, very informative, thanks for creating and sharing.

[@PetrolPed]

Ooo Westfield SEiGHT 😍😍😍

[@buzbygolf]

nice wheels mind you the previous ones looked good, I never realized all the dimensions there are to consider when changing them, that's a good thing on your channel very educational ! 👍

[@PetrolPed]

Great to hear Keith as that was the plan 👍

[@liamcinq]

Good explanation on the important bits on buying different wheels.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers 👍

[@davidwan247]

This is such a great topic, especially for people who are new to modifying their car. 👍

[@PetrolPed]

That is why I pitched the idea to the partners I worked with 👍

[@davidwan247]

Petrol Ped, it’s too bad those Superturismo EVO wheels don’t come in 20” fitment. I think they would look amazing on your Clubman. The 19”s are very nice as well. Great choice.

[@theredjackrabbit9352]

Everyone commenting that it will have to be lowered now may not realize that the suspension needs to settle back in properly after being on the lift. That will happen naturally with just a couple minutes out on the road and truly the difference will be substantial. As for the wheel/tire choice here a huge 👍👍 from me and I am ultra particular on wheel preference. Those new wheels suit the Clubman perfectly! I will add that you'll now want to make extra sure to use a tire finish (I use VRP) to keep em as clean/black as possible or the deep gloss black of the wheels will always overpower and make the tires look brown/gray. Personally I love the 19 inch wheels that come stock but these black multi-spokes are an excellent choice for aftermarket. I saw the title of the video and was worried you were gonna go and mount some really weird looking wheels but I fully approve of these. 😁 Nicely done.

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks mate 👍

[@Richard_Prime]

At first I thought... Oh noooo not black wheels. Then the centre caps went on and I thought, that's bloody spot on. I'd suggest a slight drop on suspension. Don't slam it.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Richard 👍

[@jon8687]

Tasty combo. All ties together very nicely

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

When I had my 330d Coupé it had runflats on. I changed them to non run flat Michelins and it made a world of difference. The ride became super smooth. I also purchased some "gunk in a can" if ever I had a flat though, thankfully, I never used it. I have to admit that your new wheels do look really smart. The black and red go really well. And to think I thought you might have gotten white wheels ;-))...

[@PetrolPed]

I have gunk 😂

Not sure on those Ped. I reckon you need it lowering a touch now. Edit... You mentioned lowering as I typed the above!

[@johngoodall7097]

Depends how many speed bumps you have to negotiate where you live I suppose we have loads of bumps around here so would be inadvisable to lower I feel.

[@marcoj9420]

Well done, looks epic!

[@wearejames1]

Great Video, wheels look fantastic. It is probably worth mentioning the need to also check your spigot bore when choosing new or different wheels, many don't realise this. If they are smaller obviously they won't fit on to the hubs, but if they are too larger bore the wheel won't be held concentionally. This will put addiction load and stress on the studs/wheel bolts and maybe failure☹ I'm sure this is something Lohen would check and be aware of, for sure, but something others buying aftermarket wheels may overlook👍

[@lawrencegatt4515]

Another wonderful video mate. Thanks.

I believe I enjoy your videos so much because you take such absolute joy in your car. It is refreshing as well while still providing a bit of useful information. So if you have a second, do let me know whether you would get the summer or all weather tires if you were ordering a new mini clubman S with manual transmission. Both are run flats as that was the only two options available on the other side of the pond. I did go for the largest size option. (While I wait I am looking at a second set for the remainder of the year and thus happened upon your videos, to which I am now a subscriber....of course NoW I shall look at wheels and tires so you have cost me a bit!)

[@PetrolPed]

Firstly...thank you 🙏🏻 Tyre choice would depend on your climate and driving. For most people there wouldn’t be much difference between them unless your climate gets really cold. All seasons will work much better below 8 degree C. The best thing you can do is ditch the run flats, get a can of emergency foam and buy some Michelin Pilot Sport 4 or 4S tyres. They are superb 👌

[@Stop-gt2kv]

Great informative video mate and those alloys look awesome, as you said the red and black parts pick up the other bits on the car. One thing I would have liked you to have mentioned, when buying aftermarket alloys there are so many makes out there, so what mark do you have to look for to make sure that the alloys you are buying comply to UK safety standards? PS: Winter tyres for the spare alloys??? :)

[@PetrolPed]

Sorry I missed that. Possible winters on the other wheels 👍
