United-States Need Opinion on Wheels (Rims)

I have an Indi Blue Cooper S with stock wheels on it and i was looking to get some new ones. I was thinking either a black wheel or a gun metal. Im looking for your opinion on what you think would look good on my mini.

Question I've been thinking about this, too...

I've got a Pure Silver/Black MCS set to arrive next week, and have been thinking of going with gun metal or black rims for "summer" tires. I would love to see some pics of similarly configured cars - any personal galleries out there that fit the bill?

Well, i think if the rims were to be 100% black, it might look funny. I am getting a HB mini and will probably get the rims sprayed in a dark silver that is close to black but not totally. A bit like ashy black. It's a bit difficult to explain color, I'd reckon!

It really depends on what you're after and your preference. At least you can rest in the fact that the mini will look good in either choices!

I think for your color combo, gun metal gray will definately suit the color scheme!

I have to agree. I have an MC40 with the anthracite (read gunmetal) wheels and i am sure that they would look teriffic on a blue MINI.
