1st post of a PROUD new/used Mini!

Wow! I don't know where to begin! I have literally DREAMED of owning the 2009 MINI Cooper Clubman John Cooper Works now in my garage! Equally, I'm glad to have found a dedicated community of MINI owners. THE only thing I'm looking to change is (and will keep) are the wheels and tires. Other than MINI dealer, I'm looking for quality aftermarket websites. Anybody with any info would be greatly appreciated. Wheels Next keeps popping up so far. Let us motor!

Tires and wheels

I have bought from the Tirerack on three separate occasions and always had good luck. Out of twelve wheels and tires I had one problem. The wheel had a pin hole and they immediately replaced it no questions or hassles.

I am a new Mini owner too and I love my car. All I have done so far is get it tinted. I picked it up new 10 days ago and have just over 400 miles on it now.

Happy motoring!

Later,
Roy

Gratz Brotha! Welcome to the family. I know I've enjoyed my S since Nov. I have put 8k miles on it since. Yikes! I need to find me a daily commuter.
