I've had some problems with my 17" S Spokes. One wheel keeps loosing air pressure and after taking the tyre off have found its due to internal corrosion. Wire brushed the edges and had the tyre fitted and seems to have stopped........for the time being. App this is a common problem with these wheels?? Have been told that a re-furb would prob sort this but i fancy changing them and running regular tyres instead of the run flats as they would be cheaper and can be repaired if i get a puncture unlike the run flats.

Has anyone seen the Ultraleggera alloys on a mini?? I like the look of the graphite wheels and the colour would suit my grey cooperS but am undecided if the spokes would look too thin on the S.
