iv heard that the stud pattern is just about the same, but im not sure on the offset?

Be very careful. Minis are 4" (101.6mm) PCD (pitch circle diameter) the GeMINI is an Isuzu, so probably 100mm PCD. If you try to use 100mm stud pattern wheels you will f**k the wheels and break your wheel studs... :cry:

You have to relocate the holes or bore it and fit inserts at 4" PCD.
Probably cheaper (and safer!) to buy proper wheels...

...its been a while, but my friend had a set of alloys redrilled and sleeved to suit his charade (108pcd i think) and it cost him under $100 to do the lot.... they've been on the car for 2 years now without a problem...

but there are other alloys out there, nicer than gemi rims....

In Tassie, a toolmaker would probably be your best bet, they will do it accurately, not f**k it up.. :wink: They do charge $$$ though..
