I install the Black Series forged aluminium wheel spacers with matching wheel bolts from SiCo Developments!

My Gen 3 Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works gets treated to a full set of SD Wheel Spacers, which can improve the handling and the looks of your car. Manufactured from forged billet aluminium, the SiCo wheel spacers move the wheels outward for a wider, more aggressive stance. SD wheel spacers are compatible with both original and aftermarket wheels and are hub-centric for a perfect fit.

I went with two different sizes of spacers for the Mini John Cooper Works.

When you take a closer look at the wheels, they of course are sunken a bit far into the wheel arches as is standard from factory on basically all cars these days, but in particular the rears are in a little more than the fronts. This is the simple reason for getting 2 different sizes - 13mm for the rears and 11mm for the fronts - to get the right amount of spacing and even the stance of the wheels out!

The need for this was already known by SiCo Developments and they had the spacers developed specifically for this configuration already!

There is another nice result of installing the SD spacers on my Mini Cooper S JCW other than the added aggressive look and feel / stance. The front wheels in stock config are exceptionally close to the big brake kit / callipers and so, along with the design of the wheels, kind of block the view of seeing the majestic brakes. The addition of the SiCo Developments Black Series Forged Aluminium wheel spacers of course moves the wheels away from the callipers and that additional space allows you to see in past the wheel and really appreciate and enjoy the big brakes!

The SiCo Development spacers work by coming with and using special elongated wheel bolts that extend through the wheel and spacer and into the hub as normal. This means that they are able to have full thread engagement despite being spaced from the hub so eliminates entirely any thread engagement issues as well as not needing any additional purchases like other wheel spacer brands out there, thus making them the best value / deal for Mini spacers out there!

Another feature that is super cool is that they accommodate for multiple bolt patterns - my Mini Cooper S JCW uses a 5 x 112mm pattern but as you will see, there are additional holes in the spacers!

The center bore matching that of the Mini JCW is very important and these SD wheel spacers are machined perfectly to match - a nice, exact, tight fit onto the hub!

These are developed in house by SiCo Developments so have been designed and manufactured to the highest quality and of course look awesome!

The included extended wheel bolts, in my opinion, look even better than the stock wheel bolts so that is an added bonus!

Here is what Si Cole from Sico Developments says about them:

Offered in the specific Mini pattern, centre bore and bolt type.

High strength, forged lightweight aluminium
- Precision CNC machined
- Hard anodised for improved surface hardness and corrosion resistance
- Can be used with standard or aftermarket wheels
- Compatible with standard or aftermarket sport suspension
- Large range available to suit most makes & models, and offset requirements

I am very happy with the outcome of adding these epic SiCo Developments wheel spacers to my Gen 3 Mini John Cooper Works Cooper S.

Installation was quick and easy, the results exactly as expected and the look of the car really elevated without going over the top - perfect!
