Do the BMW wheels take non RFTs? I read somewhere you need special rims to run RFTs- one with a lip to hold them on when you do have a puncture. eg. you can't have RFTs on a BBS/VMR etc wheel as they don't have this 'lip'.

Sorry for the thread hijack!
I should carry a kit but I don't. I'm sure one day I may get around to it, at the moment I'm winging it. Depends on where you drive I guess, if I were doing long distances it'd be higher on my priority list.

BMW wheels can take non RFTs, even if your local Bob Jane will try and tell you otherwise, as they did to me! Even when I explained the car is currently on non RFTs.
As for RFTs on other rims, NFI but really would you?
