Man after alot of reflection I did a heck of a lot of motoring in the past month, (to the day tommorow), since I have gotten my Cooper S. Harmon has officially eaten up 1006 miles of pavement... Half of them to a warm building were I could wash it. With one trip to Chicago and 2 to Indy you can say this car fairly well traveled... but then again it's a MINI it's meant to be well traveled! And Knock on Alloy Patina... I haven't had one problem with it. I know it can't wait 'till the summer #1 to get out of all this great Indiana winter weather (almost 70 the other day, right now it's a chilly 18F.), and also I plan to mod it out pretty good. Thanks I'm just proud that I made it this far, my parents thought I'd kill myself or something...

BTW does anyone know where I can find some Hartge Union Jack Rims pretty cheap??

Thanks and Have a great Weekend, it's back to the garage for a while for Harmon!!:smile:

Congrats my fri end and wishes for many more happy motoring miles!

 

I don't think Hartge and cheap really go together!

Congrats on your MINI though, good to see you enjoying it.

I know. I picked up the latest issue of GoMini today and thought the wheels in the section Fire & Ice looked awesome and then I saw the pricetag: 1850 pounds plus Vat, for wheels and tires, that comes out to like $2500, wow.

 

Hang out on MINI2.com and check out if anyone wants to sell them "used" to you at a discount.

Might not be real soon but maybe some day.
Generally after about 18-24 months wheels start to get beat up.

Ebay is also a potential source for cheap buys on good stuff.

 

Ebay always has knock-off hartge wheels - you should check it out if you don't mind the reduced quality. It's a good way to save a couple grand though!
