Wheel color for BRG MCS

Looking for recommendations for a complimentary wheel color on my 03 BRG MCS. Opinions please! Also I'm painting the stock s-lites, maybe that will change your thoughts. Photos are encouraged!

Antique bronze. I painted my winter wheels that color and it looks amazing. Well, I plastidipped them and then painted over that.

That was the first color I considered. Regardless of white roof and side mirrors?

Bronze would be nice, but Black would be nicer. Then again I might be partial (BRG2 Clubman S w/black OEM)

I would want a much darker bronze. So I'll probably use black plastidip and then go over with the gold metalizer plasti. Here's my color scheme so far.

flat black maybe? have you tried tire rack dot com. They got nice colored wheels there and you can view them on the mini, that way you have an idea.

i like flashy colors, so im going with mustard yellow on my s-lite wheels soon as i put 2 parallel mustard yellow stripes running from the front all the way to the back :p

I have the British spitfire emblem on the roof. Thought about going with red or blue so it would have a color scheme going. I think I'm partial to a metal looking wheel though. I either want a pearlized charcoal or a very very dark bronze.

pearlized charcoal or the dark bronze would match good too IMO. try using the paint app if you have windows computer and try those colors on your picture, maybe it clear out some of the choices you have.
btw, i love your mini, looks very clean.
