You should buy someone's take-offs from the marketplace. You can get a nearly new set with tires and tpms for cheap.

Contact morristown MINI. Best prices you'll likely find.

Uh, I don't think so. One of the wheels, can't recall exactly which style, was $295 each but you could get a set of four with tires for $2800??????? Hello, when was the last time someone in their right mind spent $1600 for four tires? And they charge another fee to "install" them. What a ripoff.
I recently bought four BBS wheels and new tires, mounted and balanced for $2400.00. The wheels were about $450 each because they are forged and very light weight (12.5 lbs). The tires and shipping made up the rest.

I've spent $1600 in just tires, not for a Mini though.

Well I can clearly understand $400 per tire if it's for an Italian stallion. But certainly not for a Mini. Even my 335i tires don't cost $400 a piece.

He's looking for a MINI branded wheel. Morristown MINI is the cheapest place to buy them new. Whether or not you choose to buy the ridiculously overpriced tires that MINI puts on all our rims is up to you. It's not like you're forced to buy the tires too (on most rims).

Thanks for the clarification. Dealers seem to charge outrageous prices for wheels and tires.
