Standard Performance Run Flats (17")

We just ordered our mini and we ordered the standard performance run flats. If we pulled them off of the car, is there any interest in them ($$) or are they worthless? We are thinking of replacing them right when we get the car so they will only have delivery miles on them (40 mile trip home from dealer). Any ideas???

Hmmm

If you are thinking of ditching the RFs you may as well go the whole hog and ditch those heavy S lite rims as well.

Some people will always be happy to take part worn RFs off your hands as they are pretty costly new, but most people tend to sell as a wheel/tyre combo.

I would love to go the route of selling the wheel/tire combo, but my wife isn't so keen on spending A LOT (since I like the SSR's) on new wheels and tires when we can probably only get about $500 for the wheel/tire combo....is that about right???

Anyone who wants to talk my wife into it, let me know!!
