Good luck selling!
I thought the same thing when I saw them!! SWEET WHEELS!

I think you should keep them, they'll look perfect on your MINI

You should!! See, there's another great reason to keep them

Run along now.
I couldn't agree more... LMAO!

Totally agree!

the problem i see with these rims is finding a tire shop competent enough to actually install tires on them without scraping off the beautiful red and black. competency is a hard thing to come by lately in the US

16x7 - One of only five sets made. 15x7 is the normal size, if you can get them (limited edition).

Russell at PTEX in Sterling....he's competent. His focus is the Porsche and BMW race car scene. Five Star rating on Tire Rack.

I worked a trade with VoiD for his LM's. I've got the LM's and the Volks in the garage now. What to keep?

FMV. Let's revisit that!! Tire Rack now sells the TE37 in a grey color for $2016. Minus valve stems, minus the CF center caps (which easily add another $200). Not to mention, the Time Attack version is a limited production run of which no 16x7's were officially imported (only 15x7's). The 16x7 size is a one off run of 40 pieces of both CE28TA's and TE37TA's (five sets of each). They are so rare the distributor called and asked me if I wanted to resell them to him for his own car, as I have the only new set around.

So, $1960 for a set of wheels that only has four others like it in the world!! Seems I should have asked for more. No matter! 03Indigo, in his intimate wisdom, told me in no uncertain terms I'd be 'and idjit and therefore dead to him' if I sold them. They'll get tires mounted and go on my car shortly, so as to keep that friendship intact.
