Gary - a few Mille Miglia questions . . .

Hey Gary,

Can you fill me in a little on the Mille Miglia MMII-2

The Mille Miglia MMII-2 sport now comes in 2 colors, a silver painted and a darker grey finish . . . is the silver painted one new . . . are these wheels going to stick around or are they going to be phased out soon due to the newer designs that are out ?

I remember there being an older one that was bright silver which I still see on your website, is that one no longer available for the E46 ?
Here are the wheels I am talking about

Also, can you tell me the weight (don't shootme on this question ) and offset of the 17 x 8 wheel

Thanks for your help

Mille Miglia MMII-2 sport - painted silver



Mille Miglia MMII-2 sport - Grey


Mille Miglia MMII-2 - bright silver

Discontinued in all but the darker grey 'sport' finish. Estimated weight is 23-24lbs per wheel. Mille Miglia cycles through wheel styles quickly, and we've already carried this style for two years, so it is likely that a couple years down the road these will be gone as well.

So if I want a set of the Mille Miglia MMII-2 sport - painted silver, I better order now ?

Do you have any sets in or are they all gone ?

No rush, I don't see these going away any time soon, I just don't know if they will be around 2/3 years from now.

I forgot to mention that the 11-2 in the Sport version is bored specific for BMW (no centering rings are used) and they accept a BMW center cap.

Gary, I'm a little confused . . . The Mille Miglia MM II-2 sport - painted silver & the Mille Miglia MM II-2 sport - Grey are both available or is only the grey available ?


I like the The Mille Miglia MMII-2 sport - painted silver . . .


The reason I am asking for clarification is because you say the grey only will be avialalbe but when I asked about the Sport painted Silver you said I don't need to rush ...

Also do you know the offset for this wheels ?

thanks again .. .

Sorry for the confusion.

I don't see either version going away anytime soon. The Bright Silver finish is in stock, the grey are due in in about two weeks. Offset on either one would be 40mm.
