Up for sale is my set of (4) 17" OZ Ultraleggera Matte Graphite Silver wheels with 215/45-17 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires. The tires have less than 5k miles (8-9/32 tread remaining). I ran these wheels for almost a year on my Dark Silver R56. I recently got rid of my DS R56 for a Chili Red R55 and it just isn’t quite the look I wanted. The tires were on the car for about 3 months and have been sitting for the last month on my patio.
Wheels:
17" OZ Ultraleggera Matte Graphite Silver, they are 17 x 7” with 37mm Offset, 16.0lbs, Made in Italy

The tires handle very well for All Seasons and come highly recommend by Alex at tirerack.com (this is where they came from). I bought the wheels from a friend and MA at my dealership who has since passed away :( . He had them on his DS JCW R55 until he powdercoated his Challenge Spokes black. I would love to see someone enjoy them as much as he and I have. The wheels had a set of OEM tires on them that ran for about 10k miles before switching to this set of rubber. The wear and tear on the wheels is minimal and there is about 2-3” of rash on one wheel, courtesy of my lovely wife . It is very minimal but it is well photographed in the photo album (linked).

There are no TPMS sensors included in this sale unfortunately. The tires are aired up now with rubber valve stems and can be installed but they will probably need balancing as the sensors are now gone. Hopefully the description has been thorough, but if you have any questions please post here, PM, or email me and I will do my best to get you the answer.

Ok, what do I want? I am asking for $850 but I will entertain offers and trades. I am gathering my price from the fact that new (which I know these are not), from tirerack.com, even on special right now (15% off), the tires are $155 ea or $620 for the set and the wheels are $238 ea or $952 for the set. That makes $1572 without shipping. Ideal trades can include Alta Accessport, DOS CAI, name brand FMIC, downpipe, exhaust for a R55 S model. Any one or combo of these could certainly entice me to make a deal. I can ship, it will take a couple of days to get a quote from work. Ideally pickup/delivery in or near Florida would be nice. I will be at Mickey and MINI 8 at the end of this month; I would love to see these go on or by that weekend
Thanks for looking

These. Are. Gorgeous.
Damn the fact that I just bought bigger brakes.

 

Well I will gladly take Paypal and on there you can put it on a credit card....come on, its the american way. Charge it and pay for it later...maybe

I am open to offers if you are interested.

 

Bumpity bump...Anyone at least interested in these?

 

I am interested and located in Miami. Do you know whether these will fit a 2006 R50?

 

These will fit all of the MINIs thus far, except the R60 as it is 5 lug.
I had them on my '09 and '10 (for a week) and these cars have the M14 lug bolts. The first gen cars had M12 lug bolts but near the end of '06 they transitioned to the M14, but if they fit the larger ones they will definitely fit the smaller ones. I could come across the alley or even meet you in the middle if that would help sway you into purchasing

Satisfaction guaranteed

 

Do you have pictures of them on the car? I ask because I have a DS as well =]

 

Here is when I had the 205s on it, the 215s look more proportional to me IMO.











Here are the 215s

 

You're killin me, Smalls. Those look great.

 

Thats pretty funny, your car looks eerily similar to what mine used to...

Looks great. Thanks for sharing those pics. Hopefully someone wants these things. I would love to take them to Mickey and MINI this next weekend and leave them with the new owner.

Here's a bump in hopes of selling them. Open to offers.

 

Bump for price reduction. Let's sell these bad boys (or girls, I don't discriminate )

 

Where are you located?

 

SWFL, Fort Myers, FL.

Where are you located? At the top right of every post is a place for one to have their location show, it helps to fill it out if you don't mind...thanks

I am willing to ship if necessary, but it usually isn't too cheap. I would love to drive and meet someone to save them the hassle and cost, but I also understand not everyone live in FL.

Keep me updated if you are interested please.

 

man those OZs look great on that color

 

$650 shipped. I am in Charlotte, NC.

 

I replied to your PM yesterday.

 

Ouch. That's quite a bit less than OP is asking. Shipping alone is gonna be at least $80-100.

 

Well these are currently in the back of my R55 sitting in the parking lot of Coronado Springs at Mickey and MINI 8. Hit me up if you are interested in looking at them this weekend here in Orlando, FL.

 

Bump...I brought these to Mickey and MINI 8 and had no takers. PM some offers folks. Thanks for checking!!!

 

Bump for price reduction again. $850

Trade for an AP? I see a few are up for sale now... Please?

 

Are these run flats?

 

These are not runflats. If you get a chance to check the link to tirerack.com you will see that those tires are one of the top (if not top) rated tires in the All Season category. They ride so much smoother than the stock runflats but still return great performance and about 45k miles of expected total life.

Thanks for looking. Let me know if you have more questions.

 

How about $750 shipped to Indy?

 

Sale Pending....

Mike, I PMed you back and will let you know if the deal doesn't go through (i doubt it though)
