Does the wheel in the picture shown have the TPM sensor installed, or is that weight pre-sensor? The sensors look to add about 1 lb. back to the weight of each wheel. (Thanks mandatory TPMS. )
Actually, upon further research, there are two different types of sensor that could be used in this application. I'm just not sure which the MINI uses. This is probably in the wrong place, and I'm going to do a search in the rest of the forums, but I wanted to have you please disregard my prior 1 lb. per sensor claim. Sorry folks.
Sensors are not pre-installed. Each OEM TPMS sensor weighs maybe two ounces. They're quite light.

Thanks Dan. I realized my error after comparing pics on the forums here to the pics I found through a Google search. The bigger sensors that adhere to the inside of certain wheel types apparently weigh around a lb., but the ones we have look like keys or butterflies, and look rather light.
Hey dan, My question wasnt answered in the other post..
What, if they're still available? Yes, they're still available. It would not make sense for me to advise you on color if they were no longer available.
But was wondering if I would get any rubbing running 215/45/17 tires with TSW ASAN 4 wheels and your springs...
I'm sorry, I don't sell those wheels, but that tire size fits with most appropriate-offset MINI wheels. --Dan Mach V
