FS: 16" Five-Spoke Alloy Rims (Negligable Mileage) - $120

I purchased these rims as part of an entire 4 wheel tire/rim set about 4 years ago off of ebay (for a steal of a deal: exactly $455 w/shipping) and I only made use of the tires for my car. I've always had an existing set of chrome rims on my MINI that I use. These 16 inch alloy rims were never mine originally and they only have mileage from the factory to the original owner's home (some ~60 miles). He is the guy who sold me the original OEM 4 wheel set on ebay.

After I took off the tires, the rims have sat in my patio untouched and never used for all these years. Now, I am moving out of state in a few weeks and have no desire to haul these MINI Cooper rims with me. I live in Los Angeles California (Lawndale, CA 90260 to be exact). I am moving to Georgia.

I want someone to take these 4 rims off my hands. These are stock/factory and came from a 2003 MINI Cooper. They are compatible with any vehicle wheel specification that are compatible with that year/model of MINI Cooper. These rims did not come from a "MINI Cooper S" if that makes a difference (since I am unsure of the Cooper S compatibility).

There are 4 bolts w/each rim and the rims are pictured below in the high-resolution photos. They are dusty/dirty from sitting in my patio for years but at least it is not from usage on a vehicle. Can be washed off easily with hose.

I take cash only if picked up in person. Otherwise I take Paypal Verified/Confirmed buyers with shipping & handling costs in the range of $90 via UPS (if you need them shipped). I am a Paypal Verified seller by the way and my recipient Paypal address is ****@*********.com

I'm only selling the set of 4 all together. $120 is really cheap for these, trust me! I remember easily trading in my own OEM 5 spoke alloys to a rim dealer for $60 a piece when I purchased my chromes 5 yrs ago.

You can contact me, Fred, @ anytime: (***)-***-****. Leave your name and best time(s) to call you back in case you get my voicemail.

If only I hadn't just purchased a set for more... :( Heck, you can't get aftermarket alloys from TireRack for less. This is a great deal. Good luck with your move.

Thx DixonL2

I'm amazed at the various belongings I am parting with for rather cheap. I'm pretty desperate to free up space on my U-haul truck, LOL!

Anyway, sorry to hear you already spent more on a set; these woulda been great for you.

I'm still tempted, even with shipping from CA that's a heckuva deal, but my wife wouldn't be too pleased since it's been a "two new sets of snow tires" year... of course if I needed TRACK wheels... Hmmm.

Good luck and another bump for you...

Can anyone confirm if this wheel will fit an '03 MCS? I am looking at a set locally and don't want to pull the trigger only to find out they don't fit.

Thanks.

They will fit fine. I have a set on my '03 Cooper, and all I have are EBC Green Stuff pads.
