Bronze mini wheels

I ran across this ad for bronze mini wheels on craigslist. Where these an option on any mini or was this part of a special package? Looks like a good deal at $150 for 4 wheels....

Not sure if I like the bronze.....

As in Dresden, East Germany? Are they European spec? Shipping would be outrageous and maybe thats why they are $150.00. You can call a Mini dealer to find out about finish on these Bridgespokes.

Could just be a decent spray can job, too.

I think Danny's correct, could be OE wheels refinished in bronze. What color is your MINI?

It is Dresden, Maine. For some reasons there are many towns in Maine named after European cities... Paris, Berlin, etc.

My Mini is laser blue with a black top.

Just wanted to see if this was a stock color...

No OEM Mini wheels have ever been offered from the factory in Bronze to my knowledge.

Thanks. That was my question. Hadn't seen these before, but I am a Mini newbie...

Well, it turns out that these were painted by the owner. Originally they were white. I bought them as 4 OEM wheels for $150 is a good deal. I painted them silver and will be using them for snow tires....
