Scored some winter wheels and tires!

Made a sweet deal! I was looking for a set of winters for my MCS and one of my coworkers with a 2006 MSC just so happens to be retiring back to the States and didn't want to ship her winters.. I bought the set blind as they were at the tire place in storage and I actually expected them to be a set of 15's that may not even have fit mine (was going to sell them if they didn't) she asked me what I would pay since the tires had only been used one season. I offered her $200 and she took it without hesitation.. I went an picked them up and they are a mint set of R88 double-spoke OEM wheels (16's) with Goodyear Eagle runflat winters that you can still see parts of the little wiskers on a pair of them.

Woot! Go me!

Forgot to mention, one of the wheels is missing one of the little MINI labels in the middle, where is the best place to get one?

If you were State Side I would say Moss MINI. $16.00 ea. is what I've seen.

I was contiplating a Roof Rack for Molly's 1st Birthday, 3/05/09, and had asked a question about fitting and installation. They answered my question quickly and even came back with an offer to send me Instructions via e-mail, which I also got without hesitation. All via e-mail, I was very impressed with their Customer Service.

I will be looking at Moss MINI the next time I'm looking to order something for Molly!!

Wow... that's a heck of a deal!

You should be able to get the center caps for the wheels here.

That one won't work for mine as it is just the little glue on piece in the middle is missing. The actual center cap covers the wheel bolts and the center mini thing glues to it.

Here's a source for just the logo plaque: http://minspeed.net/MWCM.htm
Or from a dealer (part # 36136758687). They are great on my aftermarket wheels.

It's all good.

You should look at Aesthetic Creations, too.
