Brand new! Just ordered... one question!

HELLO ALL!!

I am just about as stoked as I can be!

I am just about to order my first MINI tomorrow . . . all the groundwork is laid and I just have one question before I go through with it!.

First of all let me fill you in as to what is in this beauty:

Cooper Hardtop Automatic
Nightfire Red
Black (w/ silver outline) Bonnet AND Boot stripes
Xenon headlamps
Chrome line Exterior
White turn signals
Front and Back fogs

All Packages

Chrome line Interior
Leatherette: Black/Grey
Anthracite headliner
Nav system
HiFi sound
Piano Black

My big question is (actually pretty small) I have outfitted this car with BLACK bridge spoke wheels . . . is the black a FLAT or GLOSSY black? I think it would look sharp with flat black and I'm afraid that it is going to come to the states glossy. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks a million all! Can't wait!!!

I believe they are gloss black but...give it 4 days and they will be break dust matte black.

My Ultraleggera's are the same way.

Is this what you're looking for?

They look glossy but as mentioned the brake dust will take care of that.
