They wouldn't have went over the front calipers, gotta get 17's ideally, maybe 16 at a push.
There's always a set knocking about somewhere it's just spotting them at the right price as they hold value really well. Hocks are probably a bit cheaper than the pitlanes I had and they arent too dissimilar.
Check out the owners club and you may get lucky.

I like that, bar the new wheels (sorry)
Clearly the yoof have no taste....
Looks good, surprised it doesn't have a six cog box, especially as the R56 Cooper S has one and that's the same power plant.
Anyways, hope your mods go well
Epic update on the way over the next month, keep your eyes peeled :-)
Recent developments with the car... I drove to swansea to longlife for them to investigate the blow coming from my downpipe, after a long and very eventful journey my car made it to 12 miles outside Swansea with no problems until some cocky chat pulled alongside me in a 172 wanting to play, naturally I obliged and under acceleration my downpipe finally snapped leaving me having to travel 12 miles with a car that sounded hurrendous!!
Anyway, the guys there soon fixed it and created a brace to hold the downpipe in place as was being pulled about under load. Whilst I was there I had my whole exhaust system rebuilt and i must say they really know they're stuff! Not only does it sound 110 times better but the work is brilliant.
I'm getting lots of custom goodies made up for the engine including:
A front mount intercooler Set up, highly polished stainless boost pipes and highly polished stainless hard pipe to relocate induction kit away from the engine for increased cold airflow. There will also be plenty of silicone hoses to tidy it all up.
I may have got my hands on a damaged turbo so I'm tempted to have it turned into a hybrid to save the headaches of having to do lots of fabrication for a larger turbo.
I've also just received my longer 5th gear which will be going into the spare gearbox along with a Sachs performance clutch.
Lots of pictures on the way over the next month!
