Lot's do....

check the GP threads.... What do you want to know?

But it's a first gen model, not a second gen, and this is the second gen thread area, so you might not get any replies. Also, "Listen up" implies you have something to say, but your post is pretty much content free...

Hey NAM FAM!!!

I just purchased a 2008 MCS r56 and just got back from Mini takes the states chicago and saw a few mini GP's and fell in love with the wheels!!!

I went down to my local MINI dealer and wanted to place an order everything was great and then parts guy asked me for my name and VIN and that was a problem since I do not own a GP edition mini!!

I really really love these wheels and since i hate doing anything to my MINI that is not OEM I def. do not wanna do a replica OEM one...

ANY HELP IS MUCH MUCH APPRECIATED I AM LOCATED IN CHICAGO, IL!!!

PM me if anyone is whiling to help in any way thanks guys!!!!!

LOL, it is a limited edition! Good luck finding anyone who is willing to just give you their information. That would defeat the purpose of being limited...

What are you going to do when a core exchange is required

Say that the parts were stolen and pay the core charge.

I don't condone the use of VINs from other people's cars, but the fact is it will happen unless MINI asks for a copy of the registration to your alleged GP.

At $411 (Pelican Parts) each they're already too expensive

replica of the gp wheels can be found occasionally here and there. in various sizes, too. but i think they're really heavy so it's all for looks

I agree. Good thing I'm not the one wanting to purchase them.

GP Wheels were designed pre TPMS and may not accommodate the sensor.
