18" Antera alloy wheels and tires for MINI

Perfect condition alloy rims that look great on the MINI. They were just a little too sporty for me, as I am no spring chicken. Here are the specs:
Antera ALloy 6-spoke, 4-lug wheels designed for 2002 or 2003 MINI COOPER. Tires are Toyo, only a few thousand miles on them. They are: Proxes F24, size: 215/35/2R18.
I was so anxious to buy the car that I paid dealer markup on the wheels ($3,000). They retail for about $2000. I'm selling them for $1000, OBO. I'm in Southern California, and will work with you on shipping or delivery.

Interesting. And I wouldn't go looking for an opportunity to sabotage someone's classified ad for no good reason, but that's just me.

Nope, me too. No way these wheels will sell without photos, though - that's just constructive criticism. donnermite - click on "manage attachments" below the window that you type in.

Heck it happens all the time here. Folks saying prices are to high, others pointing people to eBay and even others tagging their sale of the same item onto someone elses thread (see the checkerboard mirror covers)

Mind you I don't think it should happen, just that it seems to always happen. Good luck with the sale donnermite!

BTW google the brand and model, first web site that comes up has stock pictures, there are only 2 models that have 6 spokes.

I think the wheels retail brand new for $250 a piece. $1000 is quite a high price.

Understand everyones concerns, but stand by my statement. NAM has sooooo many experts that don't seem to mind chiming in Remember we all were newbs at some point. I've been a member since Sept of 02 with only ~860 post, but you have ~1250 and have only been a member since Jan of 05. Does that make you more or less honest then I? Buying on the internet is a risk regardless of from whom or what you are buying. A smart buyer will be prudent and careful at all times.

Yes but, they also have Proxes F24, size: 215/35/2R18 with only a few 1000 on them.

nobody is pressuring you to buy those rims anyways, thanks for your advise but I think we do not need bitter comments, I found your post quite senseless.
