Hi guys,

I’ve been thinking about changing the alloys on my R53 for a while but I can’t make up my mind as to which ones I should go for. All I know is that I want to paint them gloss black to match the roof. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which ones would look good? Both mini and aftermarket alloys will be considered.

Thanks :)

Black R105s...

Yes, they will.

Yeah those alloys are nice. Does anyone know where to get replica ones as i am going to paint them so the paint should protect them from corrosion. im hoping the replicas are cheaper also.

Thanks

R105s do look good in black. :)

Try e-bay for some slightly marked (and therefore cheap) genuine items if you're going to be painting them.

They'll weigh quite a bit less than replicas too.
