You, me and everybody else wants them... 18" and at 19.8lbs, still lighter than EVERY single 17" OEM MINI wheel (and 18s too, of course) that they ever sold? I'd LOVE a set, but they are extremely limited and hard to obtain... unless you want to buy a replica/knock-off.

Not me, I want the real thing.

I want the 17" knock off... 18" is just too big on the tiny Mini. 17 is probably pushing it.

I too would love to have a set of GP wheels.

The closest set of decent aftermarket wheels I found were these vintage Enkeis on ebay (2 years ago).

Sounds like GP owners could help for a small processing fee

So true. I'm certain some of the members are willing to pay $$$ to get a set. For example, set a price at $300 (buyers fee), over 300 dealerships/300 buyers. GP owner collects $90,000 just for picking up the phone and ordering the wheels. The money he collected just paid for his GP and more...hmmm, maybe I'll trade-in my JCW and get a free GP.

PM me if you like me to order...but before I can order, I need to confirm I have 300 interested buyers.

Hold out replicas should be here soon. If you do not want to spend the big $$ on the real deal.

Is this speculation, or is this info rooted in a sneak-peak you received?
I love the GP wheels, but I am sure even if they were available, they would be more than the 18" JCW R105's.

Come on man, spill the beans, how long do we have to wait???? :impatient

I'd heard that even GP owners can't get a new wheel without turning in a damaged wheel -- can anyone confirm?
