runflats for 19inch wheels

[KJ_daGreenMini]

does anyone know where in the UK i can get runflats to fit 19x7.5 wheels?

Maybe try ure local BMW dealership as they fit runflats to most of the beemers!

The 6 series has option of 19inch wheels with runflats so they must obvioulsy be able to get hold of them! Not sure whether they will be too wide for your rims!

To be honest i didnt even know they did runflat in 18" let alone 19"!

Good luck!

Do consider why you insist on runflats. Generally, non-runflats are reported to improve the handling of the car. If you get a repair kit, you will still have a solution when you do get a flat tire.

My rims are damn expensive, so when i get a flat i'm certain the lip of the rim will get wrecked on the tarmac... cant afford that to happen... plus my cooper performs well already so i'm not too worried about decreased performance as a result of fitting run flats.

Let's have a pic. of a mini with 19inch wheels. Sounds cool! How does it effect the drive of the car?

I wouldn't bother with Runflats on 19's!

Runflats on the 18" JCW Rims where bad enough! Theyre heavy compared to normal tyres and with the extra stiff side wall your car will likely hande like a dog on anything but the smoothest of roads.

19's

19' runflats

Why not 22's with whitewalls and chrome spinners

I don't think you'll find 19" runflats in a suitable size for the Mini,
All the BMW run flats are large, like 245/40-19 and 275/35-19. You might make them fit... if you use a large saw on the fenders... Run-craps are heavy anyway, and ride like @ss.. I would stick with a conventional radial tire for this application.
