Hello Y'all and here is my new 09 MCS. I am so glad Mini now offers black rims.
I am glad I got the sport package(I test drove without). Ride is very BMW like(firm and settles nice) and body feels surprisingly tight compared to my last car Audi A4(I couldn't wait to get rid of it). Power is pretty good. Very good torque. I test drove bunch of cars before and Mini was the most fun and unique!
what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
factory rim color is now also black?????????????/
:( thats not fair....
here are my PLASTI-Dipped flame spokes! almost as good as factory
I have the factory black bridge spokes, I like them, think they look pretty good with the laser blue/black combo...and they don't show the brake dust as much as the white or silver ones
I'm kinda bummed - my dealer told me the crown spokes were matte finish - not glossy - maybe they will look better in person (no, I had no way of seeing them before I ordered and couldn't find pictures on the net )

I think you will like them glossy. They are just shiny enough to let you know that your car has wheels...u know what I mean? I think black mat finish kinda gets lost...but whatever...
But black wheels definitely go very well with black fender trims.
Look at it this way, konijay... When you're wheels are covered in brake dust, you will get the 'matte' look you want and no one will know your wheels are dirty
Yay! Finally some pictures of Black Crown Spokes! I ordered my R56 S, Graphite/Black with them not knowing if they were glossy or not and was hoping that they were glossy. Matte Black only looks good IMO on wheels that have lots of thin spokes. I will post pictures once my baby gets off the boat.
How is this holding up? I have challenge wheels I should have done this to. Now I have a chip in one :(
How long have you had the rims painted?
I love the fact it offers great protection AND you can easily remove the coating bringing it back to factory spec.
