FS: BBS LM 17" w/Goodyear F1
Yes, you did read that correctly. I am offering the BBS LM's that have graced my Mini for 8000 miles for sale.
I know WHY is going to be cried out from the assembled masses.
These are for sale because I am a Wheel Addict, the other Wheel Addicts among the crowd will understand this. I've been offered the opportunity to purchase a set of wheels that are deemed unobtainable. Don't bother asking me what they are, I'm not telling.
A bit about the wheels being offered here. These were purchased by me from another sufferer of Wheel Addict Affliction (WAA). We do cry when we obtain the perfect wheel, which is unobtainable, yet we seek them out. Once received the wheels were disassembled. The centers were powder coated in a low temperature process in Blue. However when held up to the Space Blue Mini they were to adorn the shade of blue was deemed incorrect. The centers were then media blasted to bare metal, sealed, primered, color coated and clear coated at a BBS approved facility. The other rims were polished to a high luster. Once cured the wheel was reassembled to BBS specifications using all brand new BBS hardware with a new BBS Valve Stem installed.
Please excuse the dirt, the car had been in the shop for almost 2 weeks when this was taken.

Still available....
Real LM's
You get a great wheel and help me finance a new set of killer wheels that you just know sometime down the road I'll make available. Maybe even offer to trade back the LM's for the incredible wheels I found.

Since the only thing that would prevent them from fitting an R56 or even a late production R53 is the 14mm Lug Bolt I went to the garage and tested.
14mm lug Bolts fit perfectly.
So yes, these will fit an 07.

If these are still available what is the condition of the tire tread and about how much does each of these wheels weigh?
If they aren't sold by the time I return to the states in mid December I'll be sending a PM....thank God Space Blue's a relatively rare colour.

It's a bit more than I had thought I was going to spend but they are amazing looking wheels and would look great on my car. I had planned to get a set of 17" Konig Brite-lites but these wheels would look so much better and I can always pick up a set of the Konigs in a 15" size for use on the track.
By all means though, don't hold on to them on account of me, if another buyer steps up to the plate best wishes to them, I'm curious what these new wheels look like myself.
BTW, never mind the weight question, I apparently lost the ability to read in the last few hours, I now see they're 19lbs.
