Powder coated some R112's white, put them on last weekend!
I bought my R53 five years ago, and ever since then, I've been living with the curb rash the previous owner put on its white S-Lites. I love my white wheels to death, so I was really struggling to find replacements that looked good but were also white.
After a lot of looking into OZ's and Sparco's, I decided I actually really wanted to stay OEM, as I think the lines of MINI's wheels are much cleaner. MINI doesn't offer many white wheels, so I decided I would make my own. I ended up buying a set of used R112's, sanding down their curb rash and fixing them up a bit, and sending them off to the powder coaters. I just put them on this past weekend, and I'm extremely happy with how they turned out!
They're going to be an absolute betch to keep clean, but I think it'll be worth it!
(And a shoutout to Joeygonz, who sent me the link to the ad for the wheels. Thanks man!)
