Couldn't get them to replace mine as I'd kerbed one, so they said that was the cause of the damage. Totally wasn't, but there you go.

Stoney if you are having problems with your wheels I would take them back to the garage you got them from and if they got someone to fix your wheels they should offer some sort of warranty with them. As younhave only had the car a couple of months now.

I always wondered how you would refurb a GP wheel, with the polished lip

correct Greig.... Saw Stoney's wheels tonight and I defo think he has a claim with MINI... No way they should be in that condition, especially as they noticed the problem when he picked the car up... :frown:

Fight them Rob !!! Just another fob off to a loyal MINI customer once more... :argh:
