I don't have the funds right now or believe me I would be getting them... but someone should get 'em! I have a thing for white wheels and these look to be just right! hope someone here picks 'em up!

just some more info before the jump... they are RO_JA GT Drift 17x7 wheels, white with a raw polished lip.

I have to agree. Wonder what they'll end up going for? More important, I wonder how they'd look on El Kabong?

I figure they'll probably go for between 300 and 400... I'm so very close... but just can't swing new wheels this week. from what I can tell these are some very good wheels also... someone has to get 'em so we can see how they will look on a mini!

The wheels look great, and a real good brand too. IMHO, dont let it sway you or anything i just dont like white wheels, if they were black or gunmetal i think they would be worlds better.


Good luck on your bidding if you get these.

Something about white wheels that makes me cringe.

I've looked at these...

The identical "Buy it Now" auction has them for $769.
If you've ever looked at Ro_Ja wheel pricing, you know this is super low, so these are either replicas (also I don't think Ro_Ja makes these in white from the factory) or they are repainted/refurb/factory low-quality closeouts.

I love ebay, but I would buy wheels from a reputable dealer instead.

my 2/100 of a clam.

Oh, never mind...

I just searched around and found Ro_ja now only makes 3 styles of wheels, and the GT Drift is not one of them, so they are discontinued.

I found prices ranging from $150ea to $280ea for the GT Drift.

So I say do it.

here is a pic of my roja lites i bought from this vendor, they weigh only 14.5 lbs each. i paid 575.00 delivered to my door. this is a very noticible mod for a mini, it made my car much more zippy, kinda like when i added a light weight crank pulley. i would buy from this vendor again.

I saw these on a MINI just the other day (in a picture but I can't remember where). It was on a DS/W.
I just purchased roja's about a month ago. Not this model, but they are great!

I almost bought those last night, but then i found out they were about 23lbs, i was hoping to get lighter than that. Good looking wheels though.
