New Alloys for Cooper

Hi,

I'm looking to buy some new alloys for my Cooper. I quite like some of the new Cooper S tyres. Can I just buy them and stick my current runflats right on top of them?

If so, anyone recommend the best place to buy and fit them?

Thanks

Tim

Just a suggestion. There's always tire/rim combos for sale here. Pick the style you like best and keep an eye on the For Sale forum or post in the Wanted forum.

So what was the question? you want to have Cooper S tyres? or looking to buy some new alloys?

So the reg plate is not the first

The only problem I have is knowing which one to drive?

I think the question is one I would like to know too...

If I bought some aftermarket alloys such as Wolfrace in 16", could I just fit my existing Goodyear runflats on to them, or do the runflats require a special rim?
