******SOLD********



I had these installed for about 4k miles. I purchased them brand new and they are flawless. The tires are in great shape also. I'm going a different route for the upcoming season... these were never tracked... only driven on the street. Uses factory lugs and will come with the hub-centric rings.

I'll post some detailed pics this weekend.. but here is a couple with them mounted on my car(before the weather turned crappy and I installed my factory s-lites).

Thanks for looking! Feel free to pm or email with any questions.

$1350.00... will ship if buyer pays shipping. I'm located in Lancaster PA.

 

Lancaster PA, what!?! How have I never seen you around NAM or out motoring? I'm a student at Franklin and Marshall College.

Damn, if these don't sell before the end of the month I'll buy them in a second! I'm sure they will however, as this one heck of a deal for some flawless and gorgeous wheels. Can't purchase anything before then as we're on break until the 22nd and I'm out of the country.

Edit: Would these even fit on a R56??? And what size are the tires?
THANKS

 

Mervyn!

It's me, Caleb from CBRD!!!! Ha! Happy New Year man!

I'm not sure about fitment on the R56 tho.. I'm sure someone will chime in shortly to answer that.

Yeah, I figured 1350 was a fair price.. they really are nice wheels.

I'm sure you'll see pics of my new setup soon...

 

Ohhh, I thought I recognized the username Happy New Year to you as well!!! I didn't realize you live in Lancaster!

I got so excited seeing those wheels for such an amazing price, I totally forgot about the lug hole sizes. 12mm for for the R53 vs 14mm for the R56. Since it's such a small difference, .472" vs 551" I know a couple people have been lucky enough in that they just fit. Others have gone for the 14-12mm stud conversion kits, but I'm not a fan. So the only other option would be to bore it out a bit, if the seat is even machined to accept a 14mm lug.

Well if by chance they don't sell by the time I'm back in PA, we'll see. Very much looking forward to seeing pictures of your new wheels regardless. Is that all your changing or are you going for an entirely new look for the MINI?

Best of luck!

 

Nice wheels. I'd also like to know if there is a definitive answer on R53 wheels fitting the R56, assuming that they will clear the R56 brakes. I've done a search and I see a lot of different answers.
Maybe someone at Tirerack, who sells OZ wheels for the R53 and R56, can say for sure if these wheels will fit an R56 without modifications.

 

I might be interested if they arent sold in a couple of weeks.

 

I can't imagine these wheels not clearing the stock R56 brakes. I have the same wheels with a 37mm offset and they clear the huge TCE 14" front brakes with room to spare.

 

They'll definitely clear the stock R56 brakes, that's not even a remote issue. I actually know a couple people who have added a BBK after purchasing these wheels as they practically beg for it. So much space available.

Just unsure if the lugs will fit. Worst case seems to be you have to bore the holes out a bit. Or go with a lug conversion kit if you're okay with that. A few wheels have been reported not to fit correctly even after boring the lug holes out to 14mm. Not sure about these wheels in particular. With any luck they'll just fit without any modifications whatsoever.

 

Updated pictures bump....

 

Sweet pics! The more I see these wheels the more I want them. Also it's a big plus in my book that you went for 215/40 rather than /35.

Seriously, if you still have them by the last week of this month and I can confirm that the lugs are R56 compatible, consider them sold. I'll pick up and get them mounted right over at CBRD. I'll be in around that time getting my ALTA turbo back installed anyway.

 

Sweet! Let me know if I can help you with that turbo-back.

Yeah, I've done a couple MINI's here, and I really like the 40 series sidewall profile vs the 35's....

These probably won't be around much longer, I've had some pretty interested people in these (no money yet) but most sounded pretty serious. I went pretty aggressive on the pricing just so I can move on. No NEED to sell them, just feel like doing something different.

Take care. Again, give me a call if you need anything. We need to get your car on the dyno before we put that exhaust on!

 

**** Sale Pending ***

Will update thread upon completion.

 

Sure thing, depending I may just have you guys order it for me since I'll be getting it installed there anyway. Also I'm not sure how easy it'll be to get those boxes into the MINI. We'll see. Definitely wanna get a before/after dyno run in, so that is for sure.

Best of luck with the sale. You definitely priced them quite aggressively indeed, so I'm sure you should have them off your hands very soon.

 

Cool! Let me know on the exhaust.

 

Will do! How much do you all charge for the dyno again???

 

$85.00 for four pulls with wideband and boost. Printouts of course too!

 

Awesome, not bad at all!

Do you have any idea what I'd be looking at for the turbo back installed? Last time I asked no one could give me a definite price since it hadn't been done on an R56 yet. And what about a set of lowering springs?

Feel free to PM me if you prefer. Don't wanna hijack your thread (more than I have already).

Thanks!

 

Payment has been sent!
