FS: Flat Blat 16x7 Rota Slipstreams

I bought these with the intent to use them for AutoX because they only weigh 13.9lb . But my plans have changed and I don't need them .

Flat Blat 16x7 Rota Slipstreams 56.1mm centerbore (to fit a MINI).

Locally delivered $450

Brand NEW.
Comes with carbon fiber look center caps and plastic centric rings if you use them.

Originally purchased from 18racing.com for $510.

Brand NEW. I have 3 still sealed in the boxes. I opened one to make sure I got the right ones.

Comes with carbon fiber look center caps and plastic centric rings.

I need to check the box for the offset. But they fit a MINI.

I just was reading about this stuff:
sure it is just an oversite... but the centerbore is 56.1mm not 56.7mm

Too bad they're 16s... They're smaller than my rotors.

EDIT: The inside of the wheel that is...

If I didn't just send Uncle Sam a big check today, I would own these.

Damn.

Good luck.

I'm looking for an autocross wheel - will they work with the JCW brakes?

Hard to say for sure. According to MotoringFile a few sets of OEM 16" wheels will fit over the brakes. But I don't know what this is based upon to help in picking an aftermarket wheel.

Anyone else locally interested? I have had a few requests to ship these but I would rather give them to someone locally.

Ignore the big dent in the front below the scoop... And if you wonder where it came from, check the Mini Talk forum...

Once I pointed to the loosening screws on the shifter. I told them over the phone to loosen the screws and adjust it up and down to match the one they took out.

1 mechanic, 1 service advisor, 1 service manager... No comprende.

He doesn't know, he never tried to put them on... So you have to do some research and find others who have them, or ask MDSBrain nicely to measure them. :P

he shouldn't be claiming 56.1mm centerbore if hubcentric rings are required.
it's an either/or situation.

icubed I am just posting what they are. They have a 56.1mm centerbore from what I recall and came with rings. I need to remember to double-check the wheels @ home.
