I am selling these
ERA style alloys

the link brings up a new topic page?

LOL same with me

Oh yeah, HERE

are theses the Rover Cooper wheels and not ERA? whats your reserve?

Very nice, but.... where's the rest of it??

As far as i can find out, they were made under licence for rover by the same firm that made the ERA centre capped ones, there was a limited run of ERA badged ones then they were made with the =mini= logo, does anyone know more?
Reserve is set at £100

don't hold me to this, but i think they were the lamm cabriolet ones?

I wish, but then again im not a huge fan of body kits, but i would make an exception for ERA turbo!

I thought they were the revolution 5 spokes? lamm cabriolet

ah that's right, yep ignor me.

Me too

Same... I can see 2 sets of the alloys on ebay at the moment, which means 2 less ERAs on the road unless they just put them on steelies lol...

Steelies have a time & a place, but not on a ERA

I need some 6J 13" wheels with Yokohama tyres for racing, but I couldn't, I just couldn't!

Why not? go on you know you want them!

but they are not ERA wheels so its a false statement!

They were made for ERA by a third party subsidised by rover as replacement wheels

I have revised the listing just for you, my mistake for not making it clear, oooh i feel all educated........nope its gone again

I would call it misleading people to make a profit bigger that you normaly would!

I haven't intentionally miss-led anyone, the information i provided in the auction was as i believed correct at the time of writing, i have now found the details to be incorrect & have revised the auction to suit, wind your neck in & get off my back

The ERA wheel is marked 'Trackstar 6.0x13'.
I don't know yet of Rovers version.

So it looks like there were at least two version of this wheel around!
Do your wheels have some lettering, Mr-Skimmed?
Would be interesting to know...

PS: Sorry for offtopic...

i have a set of these =mini= wheels somewhere. they are stamped rover on the inner rim. from what i can make out the only difference between the style i have and the era ones are whats written on the centre hub?

! the wheels have never seen ERA, it the same as me calling a mini city a Cooper S.

Thats my silver ERA in the thread


I have had a set of the (Rover) copies, so can make direct comparisons. The valve is set between the spokes on original wheels ( i have a feeling that the picture of red car posted by asphalt is an original wheel with a different centre), the copies have the valve between the spokes.

The ERA caps WILL NOT fit in the copies ... not without some serious mods.

As far as I have seen there are two slightly different original wheels...but only to do with the depth of the recess on the cap seat, as there are two different thickness centres. But how could this happen? I have a feeling it could be to do with someone making nigh on exact copies. You could have a set of ERA wheels with the valve in the spoke and the correct caps but still have copies. You can even copy the Trackstar lettering on rim if you had the inclination.


Anyhoo back on topic ....Mr Skimmed was selling what he thought were ERA wheels...and reading above it is VERY EASY to be confused into thinking you have some.... he changed the description, so job done. - good luck with the sale

Wheels are inanimate objects you retard, of course they haven't seen an ERA, they haven't got eyes!

I opened a new topic:
http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/index...howtopic=103461

The wheel on the red car is a picture from the MPI's accesory brochure!
So yed - I assume it is an original one

Thankyou

THE ONLY RETARD IS YOU! you put the wheels up as ERA becouse you can not spell Rover i bet and wanted to con people. I am looking for ERA or Rover alloy wheels and would be able and willing to pay good money for them, I was going to buy yours even if the price was 250 pounds or more, becouse you have a problem you can sod off.
I pointed the diffrence out to you, but you are to stupid to understand and can only insult people.

Assumption is the mother of all ups

I should check your spelling in your posts as well sweetheart

Anyways........

Yeah well I would have them, but I know they'd just get smashed up, kerbed, cracked and all sorts so I'd rather them go to someone who is looking for some ERA/ROVER whatever they are (don't want to be wrong ) wheels on their road car.

Good luck with the sale anyways!!

I am a bloody foreign I am allowed to mess up Du Arsch mit Ohren!.

Lol! Sorry, but that is quite a good expression

It tickled me

Lmao, good luck with the sale mate
