i got these with tires for 350$ granted they have light curb rash but tires are all 80% tread left

 

No pics are showing..

 

Sorry i dont know how to embed the images into the post

 

Not bad..but not knowing too many details, size, type tires, brands ect..I will just comment on the $, you would be lucky to find just tires for that price. So if you were able just bolt 'em on and go I think is well worth the $. At least the are no extra "universal" lug holes!

Looks OK not bad

The rims are fine for gravity cast alloy in 17x7 most likely, lighter than stock 17" wheels. Color looks OK, a few blemishes.

The tires are Toyo Proxes 4 which are Ultra High Performance All Season tires that are now discontinued and replaced by the Toyo Proxes 4 Plus. These tires are about $86 each discounted new.

The tire size is 205/40-17 which is non standard for the MINI, usually for that wheel it should be 205/45-17.

The 205/40-17 is still usable but has a smaller tire diameter of 23.5" or about 1" lower from the ground to the top edge of the tire- even smaller if the tread is worn down a bit. It's likely W speed rated so about 50,000 miles at best- depends on how you drive.

When you replace these tires try 205/45-17.

 

tyvm i just want to make sure that i can sell these rims next season so im not in a major hole when i upgrade

 

Are those 5Zigen Heinfelds (sp?)!? Thumbs up for some old school wheels

 

i think those are them are they worth anything?

 

I don't know if they're worth much but they're brand name wheels and have been around for a long time. Way better than having replica wheels!! You even have the center caps!!

 

To answer your initial question though... If the tires were in good condition, without curb rash, and life left - than I think you made a good purchase

 

ok tyvm and im kind of crazy in the sense that i like different and i was thinking of refinishing these in a lime green but its a decision i really have to think about

 

Yup, Heidfeld wheels about $940 a set of 17x7" +42mm offset 19 lbs each when new. Comes in Hyper Silver, Bronze or Hyperblack finishes

at that price maybe i wont paint them...

 

Those Heidfeld's are circa 1999ish. So it feels a bit wierd to call them "oldschool" yet. But they are definitely very unique and classy wheels in a style that fits the Mini well. You might just be the only Mini in the world with those wheels.

They look great from afar and I'd say you got them for a great price too!

If you do decide to refinish them, I would restore them to the original factory Hyper Black.

 

Do u think that black would look good on my car being the whole color scheme is blue/white. Im not sure that i could pull off the black

 

^^^ The color your wheels are right now is the 5zigen "Hyper Black". It's a black basecoat with a silver pearl on top. It's very similar to the original e39 BMW M5 wheels or the 2006 US Mitsu Evo IX SE BBS wheels. The paint process is very hard to duplicate and it can be hard to find shops (especially in the US) that will do it due to environmental regulations.

Wheel Collision Center in PA does those types of finishes: http://www.wheelcollision.com/powder.html
