I have a second set of 6.5 x 15" 5x130 bolt pattern Mini Lites, yes the real mini lites and not the other cops that do odd things like but a lug in the wheel paddle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The are going for [s]$2500Reduced $2250 per set. Buyer pays shipping. Come with Lugs Nuts, washers, center caps, and 4 wheels. Last set I know that sold with all the parts was listed at $2900, they sold for $2800 shipped.[/s]

These are off the market now, and going to a good home

All clean no curbing, that I am aware of.

For a bit of history here Mini-lite still has the molds for these wheels. Downfall is they do not fit in their new presses. And do to the limited sales they have no plans of remaking the 6.5" wheels.

I know I am preaching to the choir here but if this is your wheel of choice getting a set with lugs and caps is really rare

I have owned 2 sets of these wheels. A buyer needs to know that these wheels are not particularly light. Also the lug nuts for these wheels make it hard to center the wheels on the hub. I would not suggest the lug bolts to be used as It is next to impossible to center the wheels with their lug bolts. As we all know, not centering the wheels on 914 makes for a most unpleasant ride.

Although I had the lug bolts that came with the wheels, I threw them in the garbage can. I was looking for the width, so I took the wheels and a standard lug nut to a machine shop. I had a set of 5 spacers made for each lug and epoxied them into place. This allowed me to use the acorn nuts as I had studded the hubs. This would allow a buyer to use standard alloy lug bolts, if desired. If your machine shop gets it right, which mind did, then they went on centered every time. The cost of the machining was very reasonable.
