New Tyres - Wheels
Friday 13th... Bad luck for me...
 I have a six inch nail in one of my rear tyres... As my fronts are down to 2mm I thought I'd get a quote for some new RF's... £184 + VAT Each  May have a look and see what's available new rims + tyres from Cooper Colchester, however I may also look at aftermarket wheels with standard tyres. Any wheel recommendations? I don't really want Pro Race wheels as everyone seems to have those now...

That's a bumer Joe,
Check out http://www.potn.co.uk/alloy-wheels_c1.htm John can get good deals on Lenso wheels, thats what i've got. Ditch run flats also, so over priced and poor ride. A

Ive had a quick look for you and suggst a couple below- I would have the first example!!
 I realy think that BBS wheels look very cool on the mini...Not a bad site by the looks of it - not sure how it compares on prices with other places though.... ? http://www.performancealloys.com/det...sion=299860679 http://www.performancealloys.com/det...sion=299860679

Have to say that I've always liked the runflats for the safety aspect... But at nearly £200 a corner it's getting daft... I think now might be the time to ditch them... I'm liking the black Lenso's... Rochford Tyres do them with performance tyres for under £700...

Just checked Kwik Fit. I can get four new Euforias for £106.50 each... Much better than BMW can manage...

Andy, what tyres do you have on your Lenso's? Also can you PM me how much they cost?
