FS: 1 Replica S-Lite 8 Spoke Wheel - $40 shipped

I purchased a 2002 MCS earlier this Summer, and replaced the Factory wheels, and tires. I have replica replacement wheel, mileage unkown. Some chipping is evident on the edges, but the wheel is straight and true. Due to the condition and the fact that I really don't need this sitting in my basement, I will sell for $40 shipped. Located in Cincinnati, OH.

The picture labeled "original" has the spoke webbing of the old casting, found on the '02 MCS's 2003 s-lites to current have the new, or as you labeled it "replica" spoke webbing.

Now, if your really mean they're replicas, aka not manufactured for/by MINI, then where did you get them?

I bought the car with them on it. They are nothing like the S-lites I've seen on any of the Coopers though. I had an '04 MCS at one point and these have a very distinct almost white finish behind the spokes. I would imagine they are from a US distributor of OE Replica Wheels. Similar to this UK site: http://www.performancealloys.com/details.asp?procedure=wheel&id_wheels='Cooper%20Si lver'&id_wheels_manufacturers='Replicas'&id_wheels _sizes='17x7'&price='99'&permission=1050575866

Don't know exactly, but definitely not up to MINI standards of finish.
