Replicas group buy

Hopefully I can get these wheels for a good price , the importer I use buys thousands of replica wheels every year not just for the mini but for other cars as well , they buy direct from the factory where 99% of replica wheels are produced.If you give me some idea on quantity and when you want them,I can check availability ,price and delivery date on Monday for you

Nice work fella! Wanted to get a deal rolling for all of us hence my posts late last night.
Pallet scheme sounds like a good idea. Be great if you could organise this buy.

As long as the price is either matched or even cheaper.

Original price quoted was pretty good but yeah cheaper is better still ! Would be nice to get a "delivered-to-your-door price". 400 quid inc VAT & delivery for a set floats my boat but if we can secure a better deal I'm all for it !

Oh I'm getting quite excited by all this news . If all goes well my neighbours
can peer out of their windows wondering about my sanity as I clean my wheels once
or twice a week whatever the weather .

Some people are like a Slinky ........ not really good for anything, but you still can't help
but smile when you shove them down the stairs

Folks,
Laura's done the list. There appears to be 10 of us who want a set. Simon's got an Italian mate who can speak to the suppliers and deandyoss can help arrange delivery. Let's get the dosh together and buy 'em. Or am I missing something here?

group buy

HI guys,all you need to do now is wait we are speaking to our suppliers on monday ,hopefully by monday evening/tuesday I can give you some firm answers on availability,delivery time and how to pay for them (The best things come to those that wait) just keep that picture of your pride and joy sitting on shiny new rims and the delivery man will be knocking on your door in no time,by the way if anybody lives close to the halesowen area I can arrange to get your rims fitted for a fair price at one of our approved fitting centres,they use the best fitting equipment you can buy today ,the last thing you want is to take them to a back street place, pay a fiver per rim ,come out covered in marks and then shake all the way home because they are not balanced correctly ,speak to you all soon

Thinking about Hankook Ventus Sport K104's from www.mytyres.co.uk. Bought tyres (Dunlops for my current 15" alloys) from this site before and price/delivery time was excellent.

Nah, mate I'm an Aussie. You know, The Ashes and all that. We actually let you guys win the Rah Rah World Cup so you'd get all cocky and start thinking you might beat us at cricket one day.

Good to see the GB on the wheels progressing nicely. Can't wait to see some pics of MINIs with new wheels.



Cheers Liam

Oops! Sorry Liam! I should use my eyes more especially when it says "Canberra, Australia as your location. Your gallery has some of the best pictures on MINI2 IMHO. Very tasteful. Will post pics of mine when it comes back from the bodyshop after collision damage is fixed. Hopefully the R90 reps will be on it by then!
