Offline | Where can I get a cheap set of R90s from?! Hi All, I was just wondering if anybody knew which websites I could pick up a cheap set of R90 Mini Works alloy wheels?! Obviously ebay and on here, however I was looking at spending £400 on a set and any help would be appreciated!! KEL P.S- Thought I would post on here as IK wasn't sure which section would be most practical?! ![]() |

Offline | A 'cheap set of R90s' - sorry but you had better consider another kind of wheel. £400 will get you a set that requires tyres and major refurb work without doubt. Bear in mind they are £1800 new, so £6-900 buys you good wheels that may or may not need tyres, £400 buys you a set of dogs. I bought a set and had them refurbished (about £350 to have them split, painted, polished and lacquered)... Best of luck... Jon ![]() |

Offline | I also had those Ruotecompany R90 replicas from Italy. They looked the business but in the cold weather the salt on the roads corroded the finish slightly. See this photo http://www.mini2.com/galleries/showp...6/ppuser/15024 They cost me with tyres about £650 all told. They were lovely wheels but I fancy the anthracite ones now! ![]() |

Offline | LOL, Yes the irony, lol!! I was young unwise back then!! ![]() At the time I couldn't afford £450 back then, hence why I said they were over priced!! (compared to my budget!!) Blimmy chaps you guys are good!! I did just sell a set of R90s on ebay - correct!! I am now looking for some wheels which I will be able to fit straight onto the car, instead of having to refurb those 3 wheels (to the same standard as the brand new one which i have also bought!) This will be around £150 to do. I will then have to put the pirelli tyres which I have already, on to the wheels costing more. I will then have o balance and fit the wheels etc... I thought that it maybe easier to buy a set from here or a set of new replicas from somewhere but I'm having no luck!! Merrrk- Guess you didn't want the tyres in the end? David- Thanks for the offer on the wheels however I thought that I would let the auction run!! KEL ![]() |

Offline | Thanks! Do you buy alloys and give them a spruce up and sell them on? If so, do you get many sets of the R90's? Is that what they normally go for £450, for alloys that are in condition but could do with a slight refurb!! Just kind of seeing how much i should be expecting the buy a decent set for?! Is it an obvious difference between the replicas and the genuine ones, or ar ethey exactly the same?! Cheers again |

Offline | Worth giving this chap in Eastbourne a ring, he refurbs alloys and sells them on ![]() I've used them before and are very good - although viewing is by appointment only. BM Autosport - BMW Alloy Wheel specialist UK ![]() |
