Are not selling your BEP? I'm confused... I was gone for a week, and last I checked it was up on Ebay. And me personally I don't like the White S-lites but to each his own.

I just painted my set white, not really what your looking for but...

I used plasti-dip, so color is not permanent and has flat finish. I was going to list these in a few days. I had these as extra set and I installed them on my car last night just for grins. The wheels have 205/40-17 Nitto NeoGen tires (100 miles), I bought the wheels back in 2003 from a Mini owner upgrading his wheels. They had about 1,000 miles on them at the time. The wheels as new as they get, see pic below. Barely a scratch. Let me know if your interested.

Yep, they are all white. Not sure about money, reasonable. Do you have a business address I can ship to? last time I shipped on pallet to business address I was able to ship 6 sets of wheels for $60. Let me ck again.

By the way, are you familiar with plasti dip? that's how they are painted, not permanent but should last a good while.

Unnecessarily snide, considering OP didn't ask for pictures of white S Lites, but rather for a set to buy.

Not to hijack, but that looks pretty good. Is it a spray? What's a reasonable useful life? Cost for materials? I've been jonesin' for some while BridgeSpokes but can only find silver.

On the black Mayfair? spray can, 2-1/2 cans, the surface seems very durable. You can re-spray to touch up, etc.. They do sell a "glossifyer" to put some gloss on the finish and make it easier to clean.

Black-eyed-Purple-Mini S, i'm still checking on shipping quote and reasonable asking price. PM me if you can and I'll send more details.
