I'm looking for a replacement rim for the 17" 8-spoke Mini stock alloys, because I did this to one of them:



I found some remanufactured ones for $160, but if I can find a non-repaired one I'd prefer it. Pricewise, make me an offer, I don't really know what to be expecting. I'm going to call my dealer tomorrow and get a quote for just a brand new rim.

While I'm here, anyone use Goodyear Eagle F1s? I'm planning on getting those on these 17's for summer, and some winter tires, probably Blizzaks, on my 16's for handling these Minnesota winters.

Thanks to everyone

 

How did you do that? .

 

Don't buy a brand new one. These are among the most common OEM wheels that people sell because they are so heavy. Someone here will offer you a new or nearly new rim for a good price.

 

I always see these for sale on, ebay, some with tries, try there.

 

I just gave away my last one about a week ago. I agree with YP just give it a day or so and someone will offer up a good used one, for hopefully a fair price.

 

I've tried there, thing is people don't want to sell each rim individually, they want to sell the set. I don't need the set, I've got three perfectly good rims and one trashed one.

I hit a solid sheet of ice going probably 12MPH around a 90 degree corner at 2 in the morning last winter. Couldn't regain control and I hit a curb, front driver's side wheel first. Snapped the wheel bearing and ruined the rim, but other than that the car was absolutely fine, which I was amazed by. It actually made it all the way to the BMW dealership, 14 miles away just fine after I changed the wheels out, as I'm sure I blew a radial in the tire that struck the curb, not to mention the obvious rim damage. I love the way these rims look though, and I'd love to get a good set of summer tires and a good set of winter tires instead of trying to survive winters on awful all-season RunFlats and dealing with the harsh ride of RunFlats in the summer.

 

i just sold one for a hundred plus shipping i was pretty happy with that. it was for sale for more than a year. keep looking and look back into some archives.
