Brakings gr8 and they do look amazing  . Just need some new alloys so they can actually be seen more  , the s-spokes really don't help and they're flaking bad  . Not sure what to get though, need to be 17" to go with the runflats. Any recomendations  . Been thinking about the TD 1.2's. but are light alloys more for track use and buckle on the terrible roads around here (ever go down Mucsliff or Broadway Lane in B'mth?Nightmare ). And are runflats ok on these? - Also does anyone know if the 'Mini' caps fit on aftermarket alloys? I know i could probably get some stickers but hear they are fiddley- What offset would i need? - Is there any noticable difference having them direct bored as opposed to using a supplied spigot? Cheers for any answers you can give  . | ||

Is my MINI the only one without a name?  Registered Member #267 Joined: Sat Sep 23 2006, 11:00PMLocation: Bournemouth Posts: 912 | I know the road you mean Matty - not great at all, much like a lot of roads around here at the moment. If you want a race look then those wheels like Dave's look great. Dave's show his nice calipers off very well. Image: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v355/cu.kev/sig-1.jpg | ||

I ended up (after much help from others) getting Toyo Proxes from tyretraders.com for a fraction of the price. Instead of £150 a corner for my Pirelli runflats, I paid £70!
