16" Winter tires & rims

Recently I sold my Mini , but I held onto my winter tires & rims. Tires are on the 16" rims (not runflats).

I purchased them at Tire Rack 2 winters ago. There is no damage to the tires or rims and though they have seen 2 winters they still have plenty of tread (I have a very short commute).

Rims: 16x6.5 Silver Painted MSW Type 15
Tires: SP WINTER SPORT M3

I'm asking $50 for all 4 (pick up only), I need the garage space.

I'll post a picture once I get home from work.

Please PM me if interested.

Tires are 195/55/R16 Dunlap Winter Sport M3

I know the rims fit on an '05 MCS cabrio, no clue if they will fit on the R56. Tirerack might have something to figure it out.

Pictures are below

Sorry to hijack your thread here.. but it's related.

Last winter, I took the rubber off the stock 16" rims and put Blizzaks on because I bought SSR Type-C wheels for the summer with summer rubber.

I have 4 Dunlop SP Sport 5000 tires that are 195/55 16. They still have a fair amount of tread left and would last another 10-15k miles; they're listed as all-season tires but I wouldn't use them in Chicago-style winters (why I switched to Blizzaks). I'm in Naperville, I'm not looking to get much for them because I understand you'll still have to get them mounted and balanced. Let me know if you're interested.. we can work out a reasonable price.. I just want them out of my garage. Thanks.

Ugh, I need 17" wheels to fit my S-Lites for winter duty. :( Thanks for the offer, though.

lol, I meant to say tires.

By the way, do you ride up to the loop once in awhile? There's a guy with a white Griso that I occasionally park my Honda CB next to.

No, mine's black.. and I avoid heavily populated areas like the plague since people don't pay attention while they're driving!!

Heh, yeah. Riding in the city is interesting, to say the least. I always wait 2-3 seconds after my light turns green in an intersection. It pisses off the cab drivers (don't get me started on cabbies) behind me, but it's saved me from being t-boned by an SUV driving, cell-phone using, make-up applying soccer mom or two.
