Springs and Wheels need to trade ASAP

Hi, i am new to the forum so i dont know if im posting in the correct area, but i have some cooper works wheels i need to trade, im looking for a silver rim, preferably the exact same ones but in silver. The tires on my wheels are almost new and in good condition. I Am open to offers as i want them switched immediately !!

I also have so H& R springs or coilovers for sale, im not too sure what exactly they are but i want them out as well, i would rather have stock suspension. they came with my car as well. my phone number is 3149736606 call or text any time. I am located in the central west end and i need these switched ASAP!!




thanks, Haris

Just food for thought but you might want to keep those high dollar, fully adjustable coil overs and just go to a 16" rim/wheel and go with 205/55s. You should be able to adjust those struts to ride as soft as the stock struts and more sidewall will be more forgiving on the roads around here. I eventually am going to buy a stock set of wheels and have the powdercoated a gunmetal grey color.

I also am curious as to why you're wanting to ditch the coils you have. Is the ride to rough? That could be due to a variety of factors like unsprung weight due to heavy wheels or unforgivingly stiff tires like runflats. Also, you may need to adjust the struts to a softer setting.

From the picture I cannot tell what type of wheels you have on your car. Are the 17 inch and are they Mini-lites or what. See link below that shows all mini wheels. I am a St Louis mini member also and live across the river in Steallinois.

If you still haven't found a trade, let me know. I'd be happy to swap out with you for my spare S-Lites.
