so did you manage to get them off and new ones fitted?

[minisprint]

Yep, typical MWS. Stitched a load of people up with these 'old style' rims. MWS have some strange system that can fit the tyres, but I don't know what it is. A friend of mine was stitched with a set, and MWS won't give money back as they say they can fit the tyres, so the wheel isn't inferior!

yep thats why im going to take me wheels to them and request to watch how they do it so can do it myself im intrigued to see how.... wasted a ao32 trying to get one onto these wheels

this is what they told me! they can fit them! iam requesting a full refund for them, as ive tried 3 tyre places and none of them can fit them!! not inpressed to say the least any one know if they go to newark show?

i was actualy trying to get my 032's off my spare wheels to put onto my (non MWS) revo's which i had just referbed, in the end i had to stick with the 008's which were fitted.
In short...no i didnt

don't they just mount the tyre form the rear instead of the front, although iv'e not seen one to have a good look at, is the tyre well nearer the rear bead than the front bead


carl

good idea but tried this too! will post pics if people can shed some light on the wheels that no one can fit tyres to!!

so you got a wheel and tyre package then! then tried to remaove the tyres?

[l_jonez]

i got some 12x6 superlights from mws, got the same problem managed to get 2 tyres on but the bead ruined the rim, taking chunks out of them as it stretched over

[minisprint]

not going to let them get away with selling wheels that you carnt fit tyres to! will see him at every show and request my money back untill he does!! and going to write to mini word and mini mag!!

[mini93]

no, i had a set of rims fitted with tyres when i bought the car but the closest place to me who sell 032's is MWS as such i got them to fit the tyres for me as at the time i didnt know people who could help me out for free, when i came to remove the tyres to use on other rims i was unable to.

also i might add with these rims and tyres that were fitted by mws remember, iv had 2 tyres which side walls bulged outwards...somethings gotta be wrong there, possibly fitting process? maybe a batch problem

here! here! lets let all mini owners know!! mws sell cheap tat!

[l_jonez]

ok well cant take pics of the to badly damaged ones as their on the car but hers the 3rd rim which i stopped the bloke from fitting the tyre as soon as i noticed the damage on the first one, he hadnt really started to stretch the tyre over thank god






not happy!

[minivanman]

MWS are pikey scum. I would never buy anything off them, ever. I have never, ever heard anything good about them. I got stitched up with one of their quickshifts that doesnt work and falls to bits, I think Bec had chrome wheels that disintegrated from them. There are so many horror stories out there about them its untrue.

[akaflash]

not been funny ere but they got tyres to fit didnt they without damaging wheels? i had a polo g40 with deep dish rim and 45 profile tyres were a pain as so tight, but once i found a tyre fitter that was good with the right equipment they slid on easy
