Not necessarily. Alloys were optional on the GX and GL1. The 5-speed was only available on the GX or GL2 with the 16" wheels and FE3 suspension.
Easy way to find out is the 5th digit of the VIN. the GLs have a "L". It's also possible that someone switched out the wheels sometime in the last 5 or so years.

But, but, but....Wheres the torque? 
On an autocross course, I'll give you that much. The normal 3 and the Mini are in the same class provided they are both stock, HS. I'm not sure which class the cooper s is. Mini is much more forgiving for people that aren't that experienced, however, I do believe a 3 won HS at SCCA nationals this year.
Speed 3 was in DS when it was stock, it was fairly competitive. But with mods, I'm in STU, which is the same class as the big bad Evo's and STi's, which....well, is asking for a spanking, especially with the way courses are designed in the St. Louis SCCA division. Seem to favor AWD quite a bit more. |

Impressive for a 1.6 liter, I'll give it that.
I got mine dynoed bone stock the first week I had it, put down 242whp, and 272ft/lbs. Not too shabby since its rated at 263hp and 280ft/lbs at the crank. Haven't gotten dynoed since I've done some mods, but I reckon its around 285whp and 330 torque when comparing my car with cars with similar mods.
Planning on any JcW upgrades Lindsey? |

Dunno about JCW - Crap is expensive. But give me a few more months and he'll get some presents. I got it tinted last week, and winter wheels/tyres are going on tomorrow. I have $175 to spend on accesories, so I have to see what I can find for that. I really want a boost gauge, and Dennis thinks I need a blow-off valve. But I just spent $1100 on his winter shoes, so everything else will go on my Christmas list.
