I was forced to go up a kerb yesterday by an idiot who veered into my lane. I have had to have a replacement runflat and my wheel is very badly damaged.

I am considering replacing all the wheels to R99s but I can't find any pics of them on a Electric Blue S. I'd be so grateful if anyone could help

I'm interested in having anthracite but don't know if the silver ones would look better on a lighter car - I'd love to hear what you think

Thanks peeps

LOL

Thank you MM

I've got me skirts on now too

What do you think?

MiniMinor · Jun 30th, 2006, 09:15 PM

Looks wicked

minicore · Jun 30th, 2006, 09:28 PM

Didn't think I'd like the anthracite wheels on EB/W, but that looks sooooo good!

Sweeney · Jun 30th, 2006, 09:52 PM

polished R99's would look better, although black would look their best with painted calipers

Phantom · Jun 30th, 2006, 10:36 PM

I had definitely planned on painting them

Haven't a clue what paint to use though so i'll get searching

Phantom · Jun 30th, 2006, 10:37 PM

That is an old pic btw! I now have aero kit side skirts and a row of four huge spots!

I think I'm going to go for it

Phanny, I think silver R99s would suit EB/W better, have a look at post #6 in here http://www.mini2.com/forum/wheels-ty...-opinions.html

Just don't blame me if you get tempted by some other wheels shown in there

Thanks - it was your pics that inspired me in the first place

I'll go look, I'll try not to let my eyes wander

Anthracite wheels ordered folks

Thanks for all your advice but I wanted a big change and they will look tops, I'm sure

I'll post pics when I have them fitted

MiniMinor · Jul 1st, 2006, 01:41 PM

Excellent

When are they coming ?

Sweeney · Jul 1st, 2006, 02:06 PM

better get those calipers painted, red looks better than blue for EB

Calipers will definitely be painted and most definitely be red

I'm quite excited now, I was ready for a big change

I'll put pics up when it's all done

Sweeney · Jul 1st, 2006, 08:00 PM
