They're for sale locally with the tires for $100. Should I go for it? I'm in need of rims...

Are they from a Mini? If the tread is good, then the tires alone are worth $100 (assuming those are 15")
Just be sure the center bore isn't too small.

They are from a Mini Cooper. I don't know what condition the tires are in. All I have to go off of is this photo.

personally i think they are hideous but that is a heck of a freakin deal even if the tires only have half the tread i say jump on it

I say go for it. Personally I think they're a bit different but not bad.
Perhaps a different color like white would suit them better.

They look ok and that sounds like a good deal...But first check on the condition of the rims themselves...It looks like one of them has a piece missing unless its the angle of the pic..
The one that's lying on the ground.

Yeah, I noticed that. Hopefully thats just original paint chipping off... I'm gonna call him tomorrow and check them out. They'll definitely get a fresh coat of paint though.

Needless to say, I won't be getting these.... I guess the search for rims continues. [/img]
