So I REALLY want GP wheels

I think they would look amazing on my car. Anybody know where you can get them or someone who doesnt want them anymore? Or are there only 2000 sets of them?

...you're not going to find any available to you in the USA (unless a GP owner parts with theirs). You'll have to look to international sources.

I've been down that road (all of them). Heh.

Yes, MINI made much more than 2000 sets of them. MINIUSA is just super-uptight about selling any of the GP-specific parts to non-GP owners. They watch those parts like hawks, wanting justification whenever a request comes in. Even a GP owner will get some grief if they try to buy an entire set of 4 GP wheels at one time (I've seen it happen).

Those are the factory orig wheels. To make sure on the backside of the wheel "Ronal", the manufactorer, is cast into the wheel
