I'm neither selling nor buying, but I thought I'd let you all know.......

I noticed on Centerline's website, http://www.centerlinewheels.com, under "wheel deals", there are some great clearance prices on a few 4x100 wheels; like silver RPMs for $224 and silver or black Excels for $188. Cheap prices for lightweight forged wheels. Check it out.

Cheers,

James

 

WOW! I have Centerline RPM's in Black Pearl ( a nearly PERFECT match to my dark silver paint!!!) and they are AWESOME quality wheels! BUY THEM! You won't be sorry!

 

17" RPM that weighs only 13 lb and sells for $224. What a great deal!

Silver- old stock
White- discontinued
Anthracite- discontinued
Black pearl
Polished
Chrome
IB/W MCS with white Centerline RPM rims

Dave,
That picture looks closer to polished or chrome than silver which is more of a medium silver with clear coat.
I have the polished finish which looks like chrome which costs more and weighs 2 pounds per rim more. The polished is the normal weight.

Also I weighed my rims and found them to be closer to 14 pounds.

I went to the wheel deal part of the site and found in fine print-
1-piece, rotary forged, billet aluminum. State-of-the-art forging technology. 1200lb load rating. This wheel weighs approx 13lbs! Note: photo is of a hi-polish wheel whereas wheels offered here are painted silver resulting in a matte finish.

Thanks for the clarification! The description can be misleading sometimes! I love the looks of the chrome (polished) RPM wheels on IB/W. Someone from my local MINI club bought a set after seeing yours on the forum.

 

Yes, I have minihune to thank for helping with my descision. I am extremely happy with the polished version of the RPM wheels. They can be coated with a layer of brake dust and still look clean and shiny. I cahnged from white wheels that always looked dirty. Poloshed will take more maintaince than the silver painted but I think it's worth it.
Here's a closeup.

 

This is either a very bad picture of the RPM in white, or it is the matt silver. Either way, it shows the look without all the polish:



What about buying a set and having just the lip polished, leaving the spoked center painted silver? Might look nice, and nobody else has it. Just a thought.....

Cheers,

James

 

Mister_S,
Your picture is of the white Centerline RPMs most likely. There is a clear coat finish over the paint.
With the anthracite there is a clear glossy finish that is very nice and durable.

Here is my polished rim and I think sanddan's finish is nicer than mine.
