Collecting new Mini on Saturday, which wheels to buy.
Discussion
Hi all,
Thanks for the previous help in some posts whilst I was looking for our first cooper. It changed from a 08 plate to a 10 plate, picking it up from Mini at Dundee, it's got a massive spec, 1 owner with 30k on clock, but small wheels which I plan to change. It's Costing £7000 which I'm more than happy with.
What wheels look good on silver and am I best buying genuine alloys or aftermarket ones and do I keep run flats on it or swap them for standard tyres.
Thanks all,
Jason

Definitely get rid of the runflats! Out of interest, why do you want to go bigger? Most people tend to get their Mini then put smaller wheels on... I did; from 17" to 16" (just added a picture to my profile, though it's probably not the look you're after)
Most Mini wheels tend to be very heavy, so when people change it's usually to aftermarket ones. I had a silver car last (though not a Mini) and personally I think anthracite wheels complement the colour perfectly

I've got a set of 17'' genuine Mini wheels with tyres which I would sell (they're called bullets if that helps).
Hi, yes this is what we are looking for, what condition are they in, what are you wanting for them and crucial bit, please tell me your up north. Not sure how much your budget is but Cotswold MINI who do deals for members on Mini Torque currently have a sale on wheels...
