I apologize for this post as its off topic, but would anyone know what a good sale price would be for a set of R121 Black Conicals?
I'm debating on selling them and have no idea what to price them at.

Again I apologize, I didn't want to create a thread just to ask that question.

Thank you, didn't realize they were so expensive when new. Definitely won't price them that high.

Just keep an eye out for some used ones if you want them. Just keep in mind they are heavy and for the price you can get a lighter wheel which is great for performance.

Oh no, I'm trying to sell mine lol
I'm just not sure what a reasonable asking price would be for the set.

Anything you can get for stock wheels is a reasonable price IMO. Put them in the market place with best offer and see what you can get.

I looked at other wheels but I keep coming back to the Breytons. Does anyone know if the issues with paint chipping and wheel cracking have been resolved?

sorry guys, I can't read through 18 full pages. Anyone know of wheel lock lug studs that fit with these wheels? OEM locks don't.

I have a 2012 MCSa and 17" Breyton. I use the factory wheel locks.

I have a 2009 MCS with 18" Breyton and stock wheel locks did not fit mine either. I'm looking for another option, any suggestions?

18" Breyton tire

is it rubbing with 225/35/18, stock suspension?
I saw in this thread that one member has no problem with 225/40/18. which one is better?

How's everyone's paint holding up on these? Does the matte gray or black hold up better than the silver?

Highly considering these for my 2006 Cooper S on stock suspension. I have read all 18 pages, and still have this question. If I go 17x7 et40, and a 205/45r17 tire (just switching off my current rubber for the time being), where will my wheel be in terms of flush to the outside?

Assuming that you have OEM 17" wheels with an offset of +48, the Breytons will stick out 8mm more than the stock wheels.

Not sure about the specifics you're providing, but I put the 18" rims with 40 series tires on my 2006 MCS.

Did you use spacers? If not, can you post some pics of where the edge of the wheel is compared to the fender? Would be most appreciated.
