Another RB idea...17"gunmetal with polished lips....they look nice with the gray car colour.

So close and yet so far...1.6mm

I'm not sure if it's a good price, but 4x101.6 means it doesn't matter:

Back in the day I ran 17" Kosei K1 Racing wheels in white on my '03 BRG Cooper S...

In reply to No Time :

You could possibly use those with wobble bolts. My son ran some of my 4x100 wheels on his Fiat, which has a 4x98 pattern. Did it for s few years with no issues. And, while those tires look new, I'd want to know the manufacturing date. If they're old the asking price justifies buying new RBs at $800/set..

In reply to DeadSkunk (Warren) :

I was trying to see if the photos showed the date code, but on the phone screen couldn't zoom in enough to read it clearly. 

Wobble bolts look interesting, and I can see how they should work fine as long as the hub fits properly to center the wheel.

I'll keep watching for good deals on market place until the end of March, and the. Pull the trigger on new if I don't find anything used. 

edit: looks like those tires may have been out of production for over 10 years. I think I'll reach out to get the date code and maybe make a lowball offer based on the tire age. Any preferred suppliers for wobble bolts?

My son bought his on Ebay. No idea what the brand was, but if you look you'll find a lot of variation in prices. At the higher end , you'll spend enough to consider buying wheels that don't need them.
