    Had a tentative enquiry from a local (silver) MINI ONE owner who'd like to upgrade from her 15's to 16's.

    Anybody who's upgraded from 16's got a set in the garage? (must be excellent condition - no baldy tyres and dinged alloys please!).

    She's not looking to spend shedloads either:I, I think the factory prices just scared her.Let me know and I'll pass on the info! Thanks guys. Think of all that extra room in your garage.........

    ELFMAN - I have a set of 16'' Star Alloys for sale.
    Comes with 4 runflats, tread is like new.
    The wheels are spotless.
    I'm looking for 300 which i think is a very fair price.

    Cheers Ab. MINI have let her know - she's away to check her purse and have a think. As soon as I hear either way I'll post it here. I told her I thought it was an excellent deal!

    If it's a goer, you can e-mail me with your phone No./ E-mail and I'll pass it on so you can speak to her yourself. I don't even take a commission!!

    Sorry Aberdeen! The interested party has decided on reflection that they have to fix up their driveway and need the dosh. They thought the price was fine though - as I said - an excellent deal.

    Thanks for your bother - I'd buy the things myself, but I'm running that set-up already! Hope you shift them soon.

    Come on folks with 15's, go for it, it's a BARGAIN!!!!! Remember 16's ride better than 17's on our bumpy roads and grip well too...be different. Small can still be beautiful!
