I have for sale five MB Racing Split rims, size is 10 x 5" or 10 X 6.5" the choice is yours.

 

Basically I have 5 centres anodized red (four of them are quite faded), 6 inner rims in silver and 10 outer rims ( to build up either 10 x 5 or 10 x 6.5 wheels), all the cap head screws to hold them together, 12 of the correct MB wheel nuts (chrome is a little flakey) and 4 locking nuts.

 

No tyres 2 are illegal & the other 2 will be removed before sale.

 

I've researched the wheels & found that they are just under £200 per wheel new excluding wheel nuts & tyres. I'm also aware that these wheels are quite hard to get as I've read on other forums that customers are having to wait quite some time for delivery.

 

I'm asking £500 for the lot, which sounds expensive but if you consider that new you'd be looking at a bill of £1K without the spare rims it isn't.

 

Cash on collection only.

Doh ! 

Don't know how I managed it but I've managed to copy the picture of the 5th wheel twice.

 

Just to clarify there is only 1 unfaded centre.

These hardley ever come up for sale compared to the cars they fit on.

I've checked the rims & the only kerb damage I can spot is on one rim (the one shown on my 2nd posting). the damage is verry slight & hardly noticable. If you look at the rim at 10 and 12 oclock positions you can just see it.

The damage can be easily be rectified with some fine sand paper & polish (it's that light !)

Possibly but I've had bad experiances on e-bay with buyers not turning up or honouring the deal.

 

I'd rather sell face to face if possible

Well that's what Mini's were designed for !

 

Once you've driven a well sorted Mini on 10's you wouldn't want it any other way
