New Wheels!

Hey Guys,

I got some new shoes put on my ride and wanted to share it with everyone.

Here is a pic of the car on stock wheels and Continental Run Flats:



and here is a pic of the car with new replica wheels and Continental DWS tires (205/45/17 - same size as originals)



The stock front tires were shot and wheels had a slight bend and crack in the front so I had to replace them all. I picked up the replica wheels from wheelplus on ebay. Let me know your thoughts on the setup

I still have 2 rear tires with 60% thread life left (looking to get $200) and 4 oem wheels as-is (bend on one, crack on other, curb rash on all four - but all repairable by rim shop, looking to get $250 plus shipping).

Thanks!

nice shoes

were they a perfect fit or did you have to use hub rings for those replicas? i'm also interested in getting some but don't want to deal with balancing problem with hub rings.

Thanks! These replicas were designed for the mini and are a perfect fit, I got the installation done at tire discounters with no issues in mounting or balancing.

I can sell them to you with tires for $1,100. Tires are Continental DWS with 80% thread.

And before you ask, there is nothing wrong with the set at all, I am just looking to sell the car so wanna bring it back to stock. Let me know thanks!
