I'm thinking of fitting 15" gun metal or black alloys on a pure silver MCS with black roof. I want to get some opinion about this. Is the gun metal too ricey? But I was thinking that the dark color alloy can make the MCS less of a chick car =)
btw, please post any pix of mini with dark wheels.

I love the combination of gun metal wheels with the DS.

Dark metal good, 15" wheels bad.

Get 16s or higher...

btw the image Aprilwhine attached was of my mini.. those are 17" G-racing Kyoto rims in gun metal on a Dark silver mini.. I made a quick sight including a few more pixs which can be found here . I can say the match between the gun metal and a Dark silver look a lot better in real life than in pix.. what you cant see is the metal flake in both the wheel and paint.

Cool wheels
