gnhovis Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) For Sale: A set of used 17 inch MINI BBS wheels, style R90, 7 inches wide, offset 48. These came off of a 2002 R53 Cooper S. They have seen lots of miles and show it. They are straight, but dinged, scratched, touched-up and each wheel has a small bit of curb rash (from the previous owner, I swear....). They would make an excellent choice for winter tires. $350 for the set, delivered in the Baltimore/DC area. Shipping available at $40/wheel. Paypal preferred. PM if interested. Larger photos here.

Stephatron Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I am a fan of these. How bad is the curb rash? I couldn't really tell from the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnhovis Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I am a fan of these. How bad is the curb rash? I couldn't really tell from the pictures. Not bad. From 5-10 feet you really can't tell. The edges were filed and touched up. I added some higher resolution photos here. You wouldn't win a concourse with these wheels, but certainly passable for a daily driver.

Nor is the curb rash really that bad. Especially since if I do buy them, I would actually powder coat them to be honest. Do you happen to have the BBS center cap or not at all?? If not, I know ebay probably does or something else. So, all in all, I am interested but wouldn't be able to buy them until potentially after the holidays if you still have them. I don't want you to miss out on a sale if someone is interested though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
