JCW OEM rims

I switched off my run-flats for go-flat Michelins when I picked up my 2012 JCW. Now, I need to get a fifth rim to have a spare mounted that I'll store at my home. My question is ...where can I get an OEM rim to match the 4 rims that the car came with? I don't want to pay the ridiculous money the dealer charges, but being new to MINI, I'm just trying to find my way around the world of after markets. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

If you had to have a spare, I would just get the cheapest rim that would fit over the brakes. Its a spare...you are hoping you never ever have to put it on. And then if you do, it'd be on for like a day.

Agreed. Not sure why anyone would want to spend that much for an extra wheel just to store in their garage.

What model tire did you get? Curious what this "go flat" is as the roads here are brutal and the sport suspension is a regret
