Dunno that I'd describe R90s as light. They mightn't be the heaviest around, but light they ain't.

They look like the replicas to me actually...........the rim doesn't appear to be stainless on them, so they might not be split rim?

Hard to tell from the pics.................

Hi,

No ive not had any from them , just asked Aston the same question as you.

I suspect they are kerbed, looking closely there seems to be some black marks on the rims , though that could be the pic.

Hi I bought the other pair he sold. They are original and in reasonable condition. The pics are a little low res and the wheels weren't that clean or at least had not been polished.

Him and his mate are mini nust and have just bought a new set of JCW's alloys.

Buy these with confidance and pay more than me and ake me smile.

well, good luck to the guy who had put in a bid on them, i am getting the replica's!
atleast with those i have heard that the guy who does the sales (Luca) is a good guy who doesn't leave you out in the cold if there are faults etc.

United-Kingdom They are OK

OK guys as I have now ordered different wheels I will spill the beans.
I was interested in these and spotted them when they first went up. I got a reply back from the seller but he isn't the owner of the wheels and gave me the mobile of the guy is.
The story is (And it is genuine I am a salesman and can tell bulls**t) Him and his mate fitted R90's to there MCS which they have now chopped in for Works MCS's they had kept there old wheels so kept the R90's but had to use the tyres.
His mate is the one with the PC so has done the adverts one at a time hence the same pic.
Both there Works have got Aero kits so he also has full MCS kits as well.
Neither of them are fanatics so didn't even no about Mini2 hence why they arent on here.
I spoke to the guy for over half an hour and he sounds very genuine so in my eyes whoever wins has got a bargain. I was going for them but as you may have noticed I have a works with R99's so want to stay with 18's so my wheels arive from the states in 2 weeks.
Sorry for the description but thought it unfair we knock a geuine sale.

PS I am not on commision and I don't know the guy

Seems like a good deal to me! I'd like to see a pic of the split rim section though to see the differences in mine and these! As I am seeing them tyreless again next week! Hurray!
