White wheels or Silver wheels? - MINI Cooper Forum

Do the white wheels show lots of brake dust real easily? Or Does BMW use a dust-free brake pads? Will the white (or silver) wheels peeled off?

There have been several threads about this. I suggest you use the search button and search for "white wheels AND brake dust". [I'm getting white ones]

Thanks for telling me. I didn't realize that people ask a lot about the same thing. I'm a new member and have lots ofthings to learn here; including researching about MINI because I plan to get a new car and MINI is the first major possibility. ;-) thanks again.

If it has a white roof you have to get white wheels, dust or no dust. It oughta be the law.

it depends on the colour of the car and of course personal preferance. I personaly am going for indi blue with a white roof and considered white wheels but I thought the 17" S Spokes I have gone for looked better in silver. I have however seen a black and white Cooper with white S Spokes and it looked really smart. As for the cleaning side I have had white wheels in the past and although they obviously dont get dirtier just because they are white, they always look much dirtier than silver.

A little touchy aren't we? Obviously, however you like your car is the way it should look. This is all in fun.
