I am not sure if the wheels are painted white or is it over exposure of the picture that causes it to appear that way to me ... or maybe its my eyes

I think it's over exposure on the photos. I couldn't make out the $1815 charge on the MSRP if the wheels were painted in Carrara White from Factory. z356

No, gentlemen, those are white wheels (compare to the silver of the inside wheel). Personally, I think if you're going to go red, go all out. Paint the wheels red, too. Either that or go black to integrate with the Porsche decal and rag top.

I think 'black' wheels would be the way to go for a Guards Red Spyder. What I find interesting is the 50% positive feedback of this dealer on eBay! It takes 'chutzpah' to have this rating and still be placing these ads...sorry, I meant to say auctions! z356

the other odd thing about the feedback is the counter is 0 which would imply to me that there is no feedback...

If you click on "feedback," you'll see there are two responses, one negative about not being able to contact the seller for payment, the other positive for quick delivery.

It'll be interesting to track the bids on this buggy during the final half-hour, assuming there any.

Why would a BMW dealer have a Spyder with only 12 miles? Is he also a Porsche dealer?? Something smells very funny

Yes, it is a Porsche dealership, too. BMW of Ocala and Porsche of Ocala are of the same address. Rather strange that the dealership would list it under BMW rather than Porsche since it almost implies something "second hand" with the car. Might just be a technical issue to do with the business structure of the dealership. In case you've never been in Ocala, it's this backwards little retirement/cow town that also serves as home to about 1,000 zillionaires, including John Travolta and the Steinbrenners. Lots of thoroughbred horse farms. Still, you wonder a tad why BMW or (esp) Porsche would drop anchor in the middle of nowheresville.
