Do you mind if I ask how much are the GP wheels? Don't know why, but they look better in other MINIs

While they will work, the bolts were changed.

Her's ran about $33,000 for the set... It wasn't a bad deal though, they came with a free car.

Yes, the bolts are changed. The statement was that the wheels will work.

Search ebay UK, they are selling clone GP wheels now. I expect them to appear here in a clone once regular delivery starts for the GP in the US.

Thanks! That is true.

Just noticed your location changed from DC to NorCal, why didn't I see you at Monterey? I always have a hug for my DCMM friends.

That's true, but he was asking how much she paid for her wheels!

I was in stealth mode.

Actually I didn't get in to Monterey until Friday afternoon after just about everybody left the track so I missed the delivery cermony and getting my paddock pass. It was either that or show up with a dirty MINI, and we all know that just wouldn't do!

I spent most of Saturday with Todd doing WRR stuff including riding shotgun in his GP during the "controversial" parade laps. Had to come back home Saturday afternoon because I had to work on Sunday. In all I think I was at the track for 5 hours over both days and completely missed the Concours on Sunday.

If you can talk a parts counter in to selling you a GP wing, it will be around $2000. And since you'll lose your third brake-light you'll need to find a GP style rear hatch as well. Then add paint and all the various fittings and you'll probably talking 4-5k.

FYI: Here are a couple of mods I have made.

Replaced the antenna with a stubby because the original rubbed the
CF wing when the boot is open.
Package shelf so I have more places to stick stuff.
