Hi all, nearly got the car as I like it, its hopefully being lowered 40mm tomorrow, and was thinking of getting webspokes painted black to match the roof, and leaving the rim the silvery shiny colour.

What are your opinions?

Would say go all black as web spokes look smaller than most other 17 inch wheel beacause of the split rim - lovely looking wheel though - had them on my last mini - highlighting the split rim will make them look smaller still

I think they would look great all black

Know someone who painted his factory works challenge wheel and they looked amazing

I have to agree with waterloo and Tobes: all black or anthracite would look better IMHO, but that's personal taste.

Nice car btw :)
