WTB 16"X-lites

With my move from Autox into SCCA Showroom Stock C Road Racing, I need to bring my car back to a stock configuration.

Have you got a set of 16" x-lites taking up space in the garage?
Would you like to see them running at Road Atlanta at 125 mph?
Help me beat the civics, sell me your x-lites.

Ben

ps I am in Atlanta so if yer close I can stop by and pick them up. Note I will be needing multiple sets (rain, backup slicks, primary racing slicks).

No X-Lites, but I do have 16" R83 (5 spokes) if those are of interest?

I wish I could use those:
But the rules are really strict and civis guys are REALLY REALLY unhappy about having to compete with the S.

I need to run the stock Mini Cooper S 16" wheel (I even called the SCCA national to get clarrification) As far as I can tell the x-lite is the stock wheel for a 2002 MCS.

Thanks though,
Ben

I've got an extra set of silver X-lites that currently have Kumho V700s on them. I got them to use for track days, but then was warned off R-compound tires by more experienced drivers (I'm pretty new to track driving). The prior owner ran this setup in auto-x this season, but (per him) the tires have enough tread left to be useful. (Visually, the longitudinal grooves are still distinct, but the lateral grooves are pretty worn.) The rims are in excellent shape - the prior owner said they were only used for auto-x (street wheels were aftermarket).

I was planning to hang onto them for future use, but saw your post & thought you may have a more urgent need. If you're interested, I could post some pics. The downside is that I'm in Houston, TX so you'd have to ship them.

Greg E-Mailed me and I now have a set of white X-Lites with Pirelli P7000's on them. Have been running them since last Wednesday and they are great.

Thanks Greg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
