Ordering one new wheel

How can I identify what wheels I have on my used 2007 MCS so that I can tell the dealer?
Just trying to avoid 2 trips to dealer and back.
I have no reason to believe that they are not the
'17" alloy wheels web spoke'
that the car was ordered with - but I really don't know.

Thanks for any help.

There is a great list of all OEM Wheels with some technical info on the Mini2 web site. Use this link: http://www.mini2.com/forum/faq.php?f...factory_wheels .

Cheers,
Greg

One more thing....

In both my bodyshops, we can buy what's called reconditioned wheels. These are wheels that are either "take-offs" or been repaired by a professional. In 26 years, I've only had 1 wheel that I wasn't happy with. (the color was off a hair but like I said, that's only once)

They usually list for 179 bucks. My cost is 139.00 for most wheels.

If you find that the wheel you need is 300-400 bucks or more and you want to try a cheaper route, let me know.

If I sell you the wheel at my cost and you pay shipping, you'll probably have less than half of what a dealer wants.

If that helps, let me know.
