Best bet is to put an ad in the wanted section , they are pretty hard to find as a lot of owners replaced them with mags (like they did the steel cooper s wheels) and threw them out or put them on trailers .

Yer the English 1275 GT wasn't the fire breather that the Aussie's produce (which was a full on Cooper S in an Aussie Clubman shell).

Apparently later Aussie Clubman GT's used the same wheels as the Aussie Clubman S, which are easy to get.

$50 to $100 each depending on condition.

Obviously only fitted to GT's. The original wheels are quite rare today. Only around 1000 GT's were made, as opposed to Cooper S's (Mk 1 and Mk 2).

I have enough for both of my GT's, but I won't part with them for love or money.
