Check out Centerline RPM Wheels on Ebay

Bidding is at $850 bucks for all 4 brand new in the black pearl finish - 17x7....I am not affiliated or even know the person selling these but have seen them posted on the forums on more then one occasion and figured someone might want to jump on this as they could save several hundred bucks (new they cost in the ball park of 1200-1400 bucks depending on the place selling them).

Some comments-

The anthracite finish is quite Dark in color. almost a gunmetal but not black finish.
Good for not showing brake dust. Overall finish is very shiny and excellent quality.
Make sure you get centering hub rings 73.1mm/56.1mm to fit the MINI. I have a set if needed for sale.
Note that the wheel has a centerline logo centercap which is quite a heavy design.

I have these same rims in the same size on my MCS and they are great performers. The manufacturer says they weight about 13 pounds but I have found them to be more around 14+ pounds in the 17x7 size. The tires I have are Yokohama AVS ES100 215/45-17 but you could also use 215/40-17 as well with good results. Each rim and tire combo weighs about 36 pounds.

Beware the seller is new with NO feedback- this is usually not a good sign and he wants to be paid via paypal.
Usually with this sort of record I do not bother to bid. You might email the seller to get some idea on where this "new set of rims have come from.
