Where can I get JCW GP wheels?

Where can I get the wheels from the John Cooper Works GP package?

http://www.jalopnik.com/cars/news/mi...-gp-134305.php

Does anyone know who makes them? I can't find anything like them anywhere.
Thanks!

The only real option for now is: Buy a GP

Later, maybe a GP owner will sell theirs ... generally special parts specific to one model are only available to buyers of that model (eg: MC40)

I seriously doubt that many GP owners will choose to sell their wheels, due to their rarity.

Any future prospective owner that wants to buy a used GP will expect those wheels to come with it. The absence of the wheels would sharply lower the resale value, IMO.

You'd have to find a GP owner who:
  1. REALLY hated the wheels... and
  2. NEVER intended to sell their GP
Your best bet will probably be to see if an aftermarket manufacturer creates a "knock-off" design.

Good luck!

GBMINI is correct. Last year at MINI UNITED when GP was unveiled I asked the same question to the MINI rep. I was just drooling over the wheels (..and the unique color of the car.. .and the red mirrors .. and the rest of the car ) He told me that MINI will make the wheels only for GP MINIs having some kind of agreement b/w MINI and GP owners about re-selling them. I am not sure what he meant about this.

GBMINI congratulations on your GP, where are you going to pick her (the GP) in CA or NJ?
