The 2004 Cooper S I just bought failed inspection because the tires were worn out, so I need to get a set of tires (factory 17's). This got me thinking about getting a second set of wheels for winter tires. There have got to be folks upgrading to aftermarket wheels that no longer have use for their factory 17's.

Anyone have a set lying in the garage that they are willing to part with for some extra cash?

 

check the "Marketplace" thread. there is always someone willing to give away perfectly good wheel/tires at or below 50% of replacement cost. i've done it twice!

 

This thread moved to marketplace under want to buy 17" wheels-

There are many owners selling stock wheels.

Check your local area and clubs.
Check ebay.com

Be creative in your search.

Put a sign on your MINI's window about wanting to buy wheels.

People that own MINI like to look at other MINIs. I think they will notice your sign.
