red or silver or black or anthracite wheels??
I am in the process of doing lots to the "new" cooper. I plan to install some 13x7 wheels with the sports pack arches and tint the windows a dark black. Some of the chrome may also be blacked out (opinions welcome). I am going with a red/black theme throughout the interior and engine bay, and I thought maybe the 13's would look cool in red also. I would like everyones opinion on my cheesy photoshop rendition idea.

Jeepster, I'm all about doin' cheesy photoChop renditions... It's a great way to previsualize w/out costly commitment/mistakes.
Since you asked for opinions, I'm with the others regarding "old school." I'd keep silver, or go black or anthracite. As for window tint, I'm not a fan of really dark tinting. I have a lighter and common version of tinting on my new MINI and love it--can't remember the %, though. Man, the more I think about it, you really won't like my opinion--I'd keep the 12"s and those arches. Your mini looks great!

Well my car is dark green (almost black) with 13x7 with the black and red interior carpeting (tan seats and door cards)... I would say silver... the red just stands out too much... and I'm not a fan of window tint on classic minis... but if you're going to do it... I'd go way lighter, as was suggested before

I wish there was some way to paint the wheels that would wash off so that I could see it in person. It seems that I am the only person that likes the red wheels. I would do the anthracite or black wheels, but am concerned that since the wheels are only 13's that it kind of just drowns them out where the red seems to make the spokes stand out.
I also have the option of getting my wheels anodized with any color I chose. I like the bright nickel look also.

Red is too contrasting, imo. Black will be lost with the body color -no contrast. Silver is nice, traditional, and COMMON & BORING
Anthracite or a dk gray with polished lip would give a little contrast to all the black and the lip a little bling.
In the end, do what makes you HAPPY and to hell with all of us!
