GP Wheels

Just noticed a set of wheels for sale...
From a salvaged vehicle...
Are they worth $1000 in good shape w/ Two new tires?

As stated, two new tires that's not bad.

They run about $400.00 ea w/out tires. And in most caess the GP's either
have low mileage, were not run in winter time, and or: owners ran with
a different style rim and stored the 107's.

I've really learned to love mine...couldn't say that at first, but they are completely unique looking...but I just have to replace the Dunlop run-flats. Horrible feeling tires.

I just got mine with 4 new tires for $850 and I love them!
I don't mind the runflats, but would like to know why non-runflats are better?
Mine is a daily driver, so does this matter?

I drove 100+ miles from LA to grab them.
I just can't believe I found real ones ...

The GP wheels look nice with your Mini's color scheme.
