Greeting all
Picking up my MCSC in about a week. It's orange with blue rag roof.
MINI has always been a great expression for me. Loud, fun, irreverant, silly:
My MINI page
I ordered orange, but even so I am a tad disappointed at the subdued nature of the color. I was hoping for something closer to the 2002 orange of the 1970's.
Then I found these rims on Tire Rack. TRhey are Kosei and the 15 inch are less than 11 lbs each! I can get them in 205 width.
Ok, the photoshop job is horrible, the wheels will obviously not be white in the spaces, but silver from the rotors or black from the shadows, the car is NOT a convert in the scan and it's red, where as mine is orange. But, all that considered, are these TOO over the top?
I know this is strictly a personal thing. Some will scream not for them. Others will whisper not for them. One or two may jump on it. But the question is, considering I even picked them, and, wonder of wonders even my wife said ok, does it totally trash the MINI?
Opinions welcomed.
