I was just informed by someone “in the know” that MINIUSA will have several new OEM wheels coming out later this fall. I'm told “they look fantastic” and we should see them sometime in November. No photos as of yet.

<p>Nice. I think is about time for MINI to start producing some new OEM wheel designs. I wonder which ones will be replaced?</p>
<p>My '04 MCS came with the 16″ V-spokes and I like them very much. I hope they decide to keep them for a little while longer.</p>
<p>I have the 16″ r87's on my mini, and I have never seen anybody else with them. This makes me wonder, weather they will be replaced, what the new designs will be like and how well they will do…</p>
<p>Steering wheels or road wheels ?</p>
<p>I'd like bumps at 10 and 2,
with thumb cut outs.</p>
<p>For road wheels, I'dlike them
to be an inch wider.</p>
<p>Not steering wheels but aluminum “road” wheels. There will only be one new steering wheel – you can read about it <a href="https://www.motoringfile.com/?Y=2003&M=09&D=26&TitleID=TheNewMINISteeringWheel">here</a>.</p>
<p>Katie – I have also never seen the R87 wheels actually on a MINI. Do you have any pictures?</p>
<p>Of course I have pictures!

<p>(pic's are toward the end)</p>
<p>Gabe – Do you think these new wheels will be the kind that are included in say, the sport package, or just optional wheels like the R90's? Thanks!</p>
<p>Collin – good question. I wish I could say but unfortunately didn't get that info.</p>
<p>Thanks Gabe.</p>
<p>I have seen some freaky colours
on the steering wheel on MINIUSA's
build-your own. Emerald green, for example.</p>
