The overwhelming popularity of the MINI Countryman in the UK and USA has resulted in a shortage of alloy wheels.
Bigblogg reports that MINI told German dealers that there will be a shortage of the 5-Star Single Spoke Alloy Wheels in 16-inch and the 5-Star Double Spoke in 17-inch guise, until about March 2011.
As a result some orders will be delivered to customers with basic 16-inch steel rims. However, costs are reduced to the customer and depending on the order and small print, the alloy wheels will be delivered at a later date.
Bigblogg states that MINI is reducing the price (excluding Cooper S models) because of the confusion and that customers could save €590 compared to the list price, but only for new order placed between November 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010.
