Steel wheels, 2010 mini?

Hello,

I am new to NAM and have done some searching but can not seem to find steel wheels for my 2010 mini. I want a set to use in the winter with snow tires. Does anyone have any advice?

I contacted Alex at tirerack and he said he couldnt help me...

Thanks in advance!

I have steel for the R53's - but nothing for the new 14mm cars in steel.

My car is an early 1st Gen.

It seems that you can get steel winter wheel sets for the 2nd Gen cars from the dealer, but they are listed under the Cooper only, with lots of extra "in conjunction" text that I just don't understand.

I hope that link works.

*edit* I read it again, and it seems like I didn't see the part about "For vehicles with
NATIONAL VERSION CANADA" I guess I was looking at the price.

I'm running 1st gen steel wheels on my 2010 Cooper (non S) - TPMS light stays on. Don't know if there would be conflict with S brakes.
