have been reading lots of your comments on 16 & 17 run flats
i want to change the alloys on my cooper , but don,t know whats
best, i luv the look of 17 S spokes , but heard 16s run better
another thing , if i fit non mini wheels , after market 17s ...
what happens with the run flat indicator. :question:

Run flat indicators still work with any type of tyre/wheel. They work by measuring relative speed between wheels to see if rolling diameter has changed.
