Hi there this is the first post that i have made on the site ! My question is if i fit 18" wheels with run flats do i need to fit a steering rack limiter that bmw sell for the car..

GCoopS · Sep 23rd, 2006, 06:43 PM

Hum, same colour car as me, so now I knoe what they look like! Cheers. Look nice

I've just brought a set of the GP Worx Wheels, only one point to watch is that 2006 Minis have larger wheel bolts so the wheels needed to be adjusted to fit. I replaced the "worx" centre caps with standard "mini" ones and they look much better.

So far no rubbing (215/35R18 Tyres and no Steering Lock limiters) and I must say that I'm pleased with them.

The only query I have is what tyre pressures should I be using, I'm currently running at 30 psi. Anyone out there have any ideas please?

Nice wheels... very interesting.... Where can they be bought? Living in Holland.
What is the exact brand of these?

Thanx

We got them from a company in Southend called Leigh Tyres (or something like that!)

They do sell them on ebay though

Matts Mini Adventure · Jan 21st, 2007, 10:28 AM

Hi Gary, you may be right, but how many times do you actually park up next to a real GP, isn't there only 444 in the UK and a good percentage of them seem to be for sale on ebay. Wonder why that is?

Regards John
