GP Rims

In need of a new GP rim and trying to avoid the local dealership route.

Any suggestions out there for where to look? Perhaps some good online options you're aware of?

Needs to be OEM.

Thanks.

Two non-dealership options are pelicanparts.com or penskeparts.com.
The cost is about $380 each.
The GP wheel is P/N 36116774581
The designation is R107.

I have a set for sale. However they are all black since 2 were curbed and the local wheel refinisher could not match the machine finish on the face.

No chance you can get the damaged one repaired for less than $300 or so?

I had the 2 repaired already, however since the machine finishing on the 2 cubed ones could not be re-done by my wheel repair shop, I had them do all the wheels in black so they match.

Well ... it's been over 30 days now and these things can not be found ANYWHERE new off the shelf.

On back order and there's no real estimate on when they'll have a new batch done.

As much as I like these rims ... they don't stand up to the mean crappy streets of SF / Bay area. You almost need an off road SUV here it's so bad...

Thanks for the input guys.

http://www.ecstuning.com/ES64972/ can get these wheels in for $334 a piece. There is a dedicated MINI guy there as well, pretty good dude.

I'm in for the GP wheels too if you're going to break the set up, two of mine are damaged.
