The person I bought my Mini from claims to have a set of original Dunlop rims that I can have. I saw one of them and it was in pretty sad shape, so I'm in no real hurry to collect them. He told me that they were a factory/dealer option at the time, so if Mini Sport's D1s are true replicas, they should fit. I've already emailed Mini Sport asking if they will fit.

Thanks for the suggestion!

The Midland Wheels website lists all of their rims specs. Here is what I found:

4.5x10
JBW Minilight = offset ET21
JBL Minilight Cooper 'S' fitment = offset ET32

5x10
JBW Minilight = ET12
JBW D1 = Offset 17

And my 5x10 Miglias have an offset of 25

Based on this data, the Minilights would fit the best because they would only extend 1.42" from the face of the drum. The D1s would extend 1.83" and probably require an arch. My Miglias extend 1.5" and just barely fit under the wheel wells. The 5x10 Minilights would extend the most at 2.03".

Here is the Midland website: http://www.midlandwh...ght-Silver.html
