Converting TO run flats R55

Category: Wheels & Tires
Price: $1
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): R55
Location (Region): NorthEast
Item Condition: Used

Yes, believe it or not I want to convert a new to me 2008 Clubman S FROM a set of
Rota Aluminum Race wheels
to the factory run flat setup with all seasons. This is a car for my teenager and needs to be simple. I’m open to a trade plus cash, or a straight purchase of a set of take offs. The Rota’s are black and in excellent condition as are the tires.

If I can’t make this work, then I will need a full spare tire setup . So contact me if you have that for sale.

Where are you located?

Easiest path for you would be to add pressure sensors in those wheels and get a set of run flat tires. Those Rota wheels are actually a very light weight wheel, and will give some decent handling and response.

I’m in eastern PA (18938). That’s a good suggestion if the Rota wheels have the correct run flat “hump” as part of their design. I was not aware that they did.
