ChrisTKD Posted September 13, 2020 Report Posted September 13, 2020 Selling FIVE 17 inch Rota B Rims with tpms sensors. Four ContiProcontact All season non-runflat tires (two are in bad shape and useable only short term. One is like new while the last is still good). Last two photos are the same tire. Didn't bother with pics of the bad shape tires. Full disclosure - the outside of the rims (not spokes) have some curb rash but some bug left squiggly trails on the aluminum. Best option IMO would be to plastidip the rims and leave the spokes gunmetal). I haven't had time to clean them up so there are cobwebs and stuff. Hope to find them a new home soon.
Revwillie Posted September 13, 2020 Report Posted September 13, 2020 I hope this isn't a stupid question. How does one plastidip the rims only? I'll google but does anyone have experience trying that? Asking for a friend with similar wheels. 06 SB/S MCS Checkmate, Premium, Convenience, LSD, HK, Chrome interior ZOOM641

Asking for a friend with similar wheels. easiest way is use either index cards or playing cards to create a break between the wheel and tire. very easy to do, just pull the cards once finished. build up the pastidip in thin layers to get a smoother finish as a good ideas to set the can in the driveway in the sun for a bit or submerge in hot tap water for a bit. 19 hours ago, ChrisTKD said: Selling FIVE 17 inch Rota B Rims with tpms sensors.

Great looking set, they give the classic mini lite look. Also a great price, brandy would kill me if I put another set in the garage. Some one should grab these, its always good the have a spare set. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels

ChrisTKD Posted December 10, 2020 Author Report Posted December 10, 2020 Anyone who needs a winter set of wheels can have these for just $125. I'm moving and need to find them a home.
