Lot's do....

check the GP threads.... What do you want to know?

But it's a first gen model, not a second gen, and this is the second gen thread area, so you might not get any replies. Also, "Listen up" implies you have something to say, but your post is pretty much content free...

LOL, it is a limited edition! Good luck finding anyone who is willing to just give you their information. That would defeat the purpose of being limited...

Say that the parts were stolen and pay the core charge.

I don't condone the use of VINs from other people's cars, but the fact is it will happen unless MINI asks for a copy of the registration to your alleged GP.

replica of the gp wheels can be found occasionally here and there. in various sizes, too. but i think they're really heavy so it's all for looks

GP Wheels were designed pre TPMS and may not accommodate the sensor.
