  1. They are 16. Pretty sure these are the same wheels available as an option everywhere else.

    Then they will fit! Take them to another tire dealer and have them fitted.

    Did you put ersatz John Cooper Works badges on your SE? :cool: The JCW can’t wear 16s.

  8. Ok, thanks all.
    I will put more pressure on my Sales Consultant (or whatever they call themselves) and ask to speak to the service department if needed. He also asked me to keep him updated because he has another client in the same situation where they told him they would not do it. Seems like the other guy doesn't have the same great resources that I have (ie: this forum). Thanks again!

    As part of the delivery due sometime this winter, they offered to install whatever winter sets I found on my own. I would much prefer to pick up my brand new MINI already equipped with proper winter tires than have to deal with this on my own in under seven days. (for the curious, this is the delay we get here, where winter tires are mandatory during winter)

    Just a note: the dates on the tires I took off my used Victory Spoke rims were indeed early 2016.

    Please pardon the dirty wheels, it’s been sloppy this week

    Sourced from Amazon, shipped from Asia. $8 a set, took five weeks to get here. Got a second set for when the Power Spokes emerge from hibernation.

    FWIW, I'll repeat that Tuf Shine Tire Clearcoat is by far the best tire coating I've used. Applied almost four months ago (24 October) and dealing with brutal Montreal winter conditions over the last two months, and this is how they look today after a simple, no-contact pressure washing, just a nice, even, satin black sheen (the photo doesn't convey it perfectly):
