Where can I get a cheap set of R90s from?!

[MINI COPPER]

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?!

Can anybody help?!

It depends how cheap. I know a man who I might be able to put you in touch with.

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...

When my R90s were up for sale at £450 with 2 near new tyres in excellent condition, you told me they were overpriced.....

ooooo the Irony!

, i bought those wheels and although they aren't perfik they were, in my opinion a very good buy. as David King says, the irony!

Sorry, I don't recall any post where I said that, perhaps you could point me to it?

just a thought; you did actually have a "cheap" set of R90's, but you realised how much they would be to turn them into "good" R90s so you sold them didnt you?

what im saying is; there is no such thing as a useable, cheap set of R90s.

17x7 Ruotecompany R1601 as on minigolf's MINI:

oooh that car is lowered on Eibachs, which mine will be too on Sunday....that pic is the one which made me do it

[I love MINI, Laura]

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.

They cost me with tyres about £650 all told. They were lovely wheels but I fancy the anthracite ones now!

, Yes the irony, !! 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!!
