Hey guys, I have a 54 plate PW Mini One. Love driving it but I do a fair amount of miles. Its up for MOT at the end of the month and instead of buying 4 new tyres for my 15" rocket alloys I located some web spokes.

They have done 2000 miles and are virtually immaculate. Cost me £450.
Do you think this is a good deal?

Also wheres the best place to get them fitted as I suppose the speedo will need altering etc

Thanks

Jorma

Sounds like a good deal and you fit them yourself, the MINI doesn't get adjusted to suit the (minor) overall difference in rolling radius for the various wheel/tyre sizes.

Oh that brill thanks for that Paul. Any idea where the best place to get brake pads fitted is? Im not exactly a techie so not sure I trust myself doing it!
Also I changed the front discs and pads at about 40k, now on about double that.
The back pads definately need changing so I bought some green stuff pads front and back incase but I wasnt sure if that back discs would need changing
Thanks
