Hmmmm really...not what my dealers told me when i was buying my first MINI. I was told all 16 17 and 18 " MINI rims fit the JCW brakes (I think alloys only come in 16,17 and 18 (the 15s are steals??)

This is the most unprofessional bit of site management I have seen since I was banned from a certain other site...at least they had the excuse that they were enthusiasts who had strong views and not professionals paid to keep thier cool!

Why would you get wheels for the track that don't provide proper brake ventilation
