Dinger, might I suggest you use this pic for a sample of the wheel as the one you have posted in post #1 is the two-piece OEM R90 alloy. And there are plenty of pics in my gallery if you want to see more.



For the record, my wheels are going along nicely and have done almost 4000kms now, including the kangaroo incident. I would certainly recommend them to anyone thinking of buying them.

A couple of other "trainspotter" notes. The paint used on the replicas is slightly lighter than the OEM two-piece wheels. And becasue the replica is a one-piece wheel the actual edge of the rim is slightly narrower so that when viewing the wheel in elevation (like in the image above) the spokes seem a fraction longer causing an optical illusion that makes the replica wheel look a fraction larger than the two-piece OEM wheel.

Good luck with the GB all.



Cheers Liam

So is the discount just based on the P&P?

Come on folks, there must be someone who can get this deal moving!
If someone can provide me with the necessary contact info I'm prepared to act as a representative for a group buy. I don't speak Italian or know anyone who does but am willing to try and arrange the deal we are looking for.
I
f someone can let me know who I need to speak to/email/message I am willing to try and sort the deal for interested parties.

What I think I need is as follows:

How many people want a set of these R90 replicas?
- We need 10+

How are you going to pay for them?
- Cash is best. Cheques need to clear before you get your wheels. Don't know if they will accept 10x different credit/debit card payments. I will try and find out.

If you want me to try and organise a group buy for these wheels, please bear with me. I've not done this before but am willing to be a contact point for any negotiations necessary.
I don't REPEAT don't read/speak Italian but will do my utmost to secure the deal we all want (well 10+ of us anyway). To get this group buy moving I need a commitment from 10 MINI owners. The ball is is in your court!
If I get 10+ people interested then I'll try and get us a deal!
Money talks, bullsh*t walks! It's up to you.
I make no guarantees...but I wanna set & I'm sure others do judging by the responses to the original thread and Liam's (NZ) pics!
