SOLD* Traded in the MINI on Monday, here is a set of Black JCW "Challenge" replica wheels with summer tires with about 80% tread remaining. Bought all new tires last spring, only have 3 months of use on them. Wheel faces are in great condition, no real "curb rash" on them, just some scoring around the lug bolt holes from the lug wrench, I hit a pot hole on the Wisconsin streets last fall and put a small dent on the backside lip on one of the wheels, I am having it fixed before selling, and will email photos of them as they sit now, after cleaning them up, and show the damage on the backside of the one wheel before and after it is fixed. Just want to give full disclosure on what you're getting, I had them for 4 years, and they still look great, if only they were 5 lug, I would put them on my new GTI. They are size 17x7 ET42, the tires are 205/45 ZR17, they are Champiro UHP, nothing special, just generic summer tires, since my MINI was lowered, it would go through tires in about 3 seasons, so I wasn't going to spend "big" money on tires just to wear out the inside half of the tread.

TPMS included?

 

I don't understand this TPMS, in my mini, I didn't have TPMS, well at least in the sense of how it's done in other brands of cars. My car had inner hub speed sensors, that if a tire got low, it would decrease the diameter of the wheel/tire, which would decrease the rolling circumference, and in turn increase the "wheel speed", once the hub sensor saw this difference in hub speed between the two sides of the same axle, it would throw the tire pressure light. Once I filled up tires, or changed the flat, I would have to reset it, and continue. So the TPMS is in my hub, not inside the tire. If I hit the reset button while the tire was still flat (call it 15psi) it wouldn't go off again unless it went down (to like 5psi) or if I then pumped up the tire up to its 35psi spec, it would throw the light again because now the opposite side wheel was faster. So I don't know when this changed, but for my 07 Cooper S, I don't have "TPMS" that is installed in the tire. These have rubber valve stems, not metal valve stems (which is common on TPMS systems). If your OEM wheels have rubber valve stems, then you have the same design as me and these will not throw any low tire pressure lights.
