Hi I have a set of silver s lites in great condition including tires (yokohama parada spec 2 tires) with a decent amount of tread. I bought them from a fellow member but I have other things that I should be spending money on. I will post pics or email them if you pm me.
Would like $400 plus any shipping (*what I paid for em) I'm located in RI if you are local.

Hey Dave,

 

Hey Dave,

I added you to my buddy list so you should be able to reply. Nice talking to you on the phone. I will take the tires and rims. I will contact you Friday night to schedule a meeting on Saturday.

 

 

ok

 

Hey,

I installed the tires Sundayafternoon and went for a ride and the rims are tires are awesome! What a difference...smooth as glass at 85mph.

Very happy with look of my mini now!!! I'm going to leave them on as long as I can. I'll swap them out if a pending storm is forecasted.

You were saying you knew of a site for replacement rotors, while I was installing the rims and tires I check out the pad life and the fronts will need replacement soon and the rear has ~ half life on them. The rotors have a lip in the diameter (I'm assuming that not normal) so when I replace the pads I want to change out the rotors, please send me any information you may have.

Thanks again.

 

Glad you like them. I wouldn't replace the pads until they are the same thickness as the backing plate. the lip on the rotor is actually normal for some wear but when they get too thin they will warp like mine have started to. I have almost 150k on the original rotors and have replaced the pads several times. The dealer normally replaces pads and rotors at the same time. The secret is to make sure you get good aftermarket pads and not cheapie autozone ones.
the site I found is :

they seem cheap and i wouldn't waste the money on the aftermarket upgrades unless racing. I will keep you posted as i will hopefully be doing this in the next month or 2.
