Selling my Sparco FF-1 wheels. The size is 17x8 +45 with a 5x112 bolt pattern. These fit F56 MINI's along with several other models. Engineered by OZ, the wheels are flow-formed for strength and low weight, coming in around 18 pounds. Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires are mounted to the wheels in 215/45-17. Also comes with tire pressure sensors and hub centric rings. The wheels accept the stock lug bolts, so they are ready to bolt right on.
The wheels and tires were on my car for less than 1,000 miles before I sold it. The wheels are in like new condition, and the tires have little wear. There is a small nick on one of the wheels from mounting the tires, as seen in one of the photos.
Asking $1,200 OBO picked up in the Orlando, FL area. I'm also willing to ship at the buyer's expense.
Nice SE! Did you see a range/efficiency difference vs the OEM wheels & tires?
I can tell you on my modded r53 when I went from NEW tires( just standard all seasons ) and stock rims to mst timeattacks with firehawk indy 500 tires . IT WAS THE SINGLE BEST UPGRADE I did to my car..
you can even feel a bit better accelerating with the lighter rims and honestly these are amazing tires.
I even had toyo proxie r88r's and I sold them in favor of the indy 500s.. imo the indy tires have much better traction all around , less wear buuuuut do exhibit a little road noise as they roll.
and I didn't knowtice any drop in mileage.. though if your going to a bigger or smaller tires it can effect that as well as accelerating..imo it's why I don't wanna go bigger than a 16in on my r53.
Thanks for the positive feedback from everyone. They are great wheels and tires. Definitely transformed the feel of the car, especially coming from the stock 16" Hankooks.
I didn't do any real measurement of the range drop, but I'm guessing between the width increase (215 vs 195) and stickier tire, it probably did drop the range a little.
