***SOLD***FS: R93 Rocket 5-Spoke Wheels - Near Mint

I have one set of OEM R93 Rocket 5-Spoke wheels for sale. The wheels were standard on my 2006 Cooper Cabrio. I had them on the car for about 10 months before switching to a new set of wheels. They are in excellent condition with a couple of small spots of curb rash and a few chips from removing clip-on balancing weights. Here are the specs on the wheels:

R93 5-Star Rocket Design Light Alloy Wheel
Silver
5.5J x 15
175/65R-15 Performance tire (stock tire)
Model Years 2005-2007
Standard on the MINI Cooper Convertible

The wheels weigh about 14 pounds each so they're pretty light. These would be great as winter wheels, as a spare set or maybe even for autocross. I'm asking $175 for the set, plus shipping.

They would make a sharp set of winter wheels, but I don't think they would clear my brakes

One more drop, now at $125 for the set. Surely someone out there can put these to good use.

Awesome deal! If I didn't already have mine, I'd get this in a heartbeat! Here's what mine look like after a can of wheel paint and a few hours of effort, in case anyone was interested in a more unique look:

The wheels arrived yesterday and today. They are beautiful, almost too much so to use during the winter! I installed the TPMS sensors myself and then earlier today had Michelin X-Ice's put on. Now all I need is a MINI! (~4 weeks away.)

Thanks again.

Great! Glad they arrived safely. I haven't packed wheels before so it's good to know my packing method worked. Post a photo when you have them on your MINI.
