Has anyone put black wheels on a Yellow/Black MCS? I have been thinking about having the wheels powdercoated black but would really like to see what it would look like before I did it. I've still got plenty of time to think about it since mine won't be here till near the end of the year.

I think that it's gonna b a good idea~ I've seen a yellow cooper not S on the street with black rims and it looks great~
Yellow and Black go well on each other
here is a pic I modded with photoshop~

hope this helps~~

I agree. Yellow, black, and black is a striking combo. The first time I saw a Y/B on the dealer lot I eyed it up and down like a beautiful lady. As my eyes made their way to the car's nether-regions, I recall wincing in pain at the clashing silver wheels and saying to myself "ouch, MINI really needs to offer a black wheel option. What a buzz-kill."

Me? I had another beautiful lady to consider, so red, white, and white is our cheery scheme.

Haha.. I might consider that for my BRG/B. It's a good way to not have to worry about break dust!

If that's what you end up doing res (just painting the original silver rims), let me know how much it ran you. That'd be a helluva nice mod!

Once I get it finished I'll post some pics. I am intending on having the original 17" S-Lites professionally powder coated. I'm still doing some research on what will be the most durable and best looking.

Thanks again,
Ron

Sweet deal! If it's ~$200, I might consider doing the same. I think it'd look simply stunning on a BRG/B.

IMO, Black wheels with the black roof looks very good! The body color in contrast really stands out!

I happen to have a pic of a BRG/Black MCS with anthracite wheels to get the idea of how it would look:
