First bit of advice is to change that silly nick ;):D:D

look for sale thread

[Sweeney]

as said above, for sale forum is your best bet. Bullets are in a fair amount of demand i think so might struggle to get a decent used set.

Angus at least let him post more than once before you start on him ;)

designer beema store (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BMW-MINI-Cooper-S-Lite-Alloy-Wheels-Caps-17_W0QQitemZ300001588727QQihZ020QQcategoryZ28648QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Loads of replicas kicking about on ebay, as to if anyone on here bought them i don't know. The fact they are replicas may put people off?

Parts sites i use/view are: NewMiniStuff (http://www.newministuff.com/new/index.php) MiniSport (http://www.minisport.com/new-mini-shop/products.html) MiniMania (http://new.minimania.com/home.cfm) OutMotoring (http://www.outmotoring.com/) EssentialMini (http://www.essentialmini.co.uk/Page12.htm) and of course one of this sites sponsors Lohen (http://www.lohen.co.uk/Pages/Home.html)

If you ever want dealer supplied parts, advice etc give Norman (Bignorm) from menzies (site sponsor) a shout.

[sedgie]

LOL...find me one 18'....for my spare;);)...can be crappy wheel;)

Big thanks Sweeney! a few folk on Mini2 are selling rockets but the logistics of travelling down to england to get them are slightly off putting.
Will cooper s bodyparts fit my ONE?
Cheers
MM

[Sweeney]

As far as i know they should fit without any problems at all. Side skirts, bumpers etc.

Although if you look on lohen there is a fair amount of wheels to choose from might like what you see ;)

Talking about 18"GP wheels (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-BMW-Mini-Cooper-S-Works-GP-Alloy-wheels-Tyres-JCW_W0QQitemZ270016019079QQihZ017QQcategoryZ9888QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)...seems real !!!

[Sweeney]

Pretty sure those are replicas angus...

Why would they leave "rim manufacturer" blank?, GP wheels are one design only as well im sure? (not matt black/polished or gloss black polished)

I'm not sure they are real either but its not saying replical like the last set on ebay ..(We are offering BRAND NEW

BMW Mini Cooper Works GP) :question:

[Sweeney]

Aye but they offer 3 versions, like the replicas posted the other day offered seperate options, maybe john/fiona can clarify when ordering one if there are options for the wheels?


Also most of their BMW wheels don't have a manufacturer selected and all claim to be brand new.

[X30YES]

You might also tey looking on M2 (http://www.mini2.com/forum/sale/122251-17-5-spoke-bullet-alloy-wheels-tyres-sale-brand-new-now-reduced.html) for wheels, have a look round the for sale section here

Don't think you can Ryan, the GP comes as it is. No ptional extras or changes can be made from the dealer.
