Canadian08Mini'sTPMS

Just picked up an 08 CooperS, and it has rubber stems on the tires. Any other Canadian's here, as I though that they had metal stems for the internal TPMS. Everyone speaks of two types the rubber stems and the metal stems. Just wanted to confirm what I would need on an aftermarket set of wheels and tires.

Thanks

Rubber stems = No direct TPMS.
Your system is ABS based like the older Coopers!

Thank's Alex. I think I am pretty confident I have the indirect system

On another note I was trying to configure a set of wheels and tires on your website, but I can't seem to find the option to order lugs when configuring the wheels and tires. I was actually looking at a set of black lugs to go along with the package... do you sell lugs too.
