Thinking about changing my color, opinions needed..

EB / W has already been ordered. I'm thinking of going to DS / B, because I found some neat wheels that would go well with it.

Here are the wheels I would buy for the EB / W: (excuse the web addy)


And here are the wheels I would buy for the DS / B: (excuse the web addy)


What are your opinions on the color combinations between the two paint colors and the wheels??

Thanks,

Andrew

I Think the standard 17inch S-spokes in Silver go very well with EB.
Those in your Top Pic seem Easier to clean, (Which is what you`ll find yourself doing a lot), although I`d still try & get them in Silver.
I note that the pic shows a 5 stud pattern!

IMO, the light color (and even chrome) wheels accent the black of the tires. so I like the 5 point star type wheels the best. I'd also keep the EB/W car color you have on order - that contrasting color combo rocks.

Now if you want the contrast of the DS/B color combo because it rocks - I'd change it, but I wouldn't change the color of the car for those wheels. The black wheels don't do a thing for me. I think the 5 point star wheels would rock on the DS/B car too!!

I too am with Pebbles, I wouldn't get too carried away with the wheels determining your car, wheels really don't seem to make or break the mini's appearance to me.

But I'll say this much, if I had to do it again, I would choose a different colour rather than electric blue, I think I am growing tired of it I think the classic mini colours are the ones to really run with.
