We ordered silver S-lites for our '05 MCS BRG,not knowing anything about MINIs,except we loved these cars!After 9 months,we bought different wheels and tires,not knowing anything about wheels and tires,except we heard that run-flats were heavy.So I had the old tires and wheels seperated,cause I was offered a good price for the tires.I cleaned up the S-lites,and I once again admired the look so much,I decided not to sell them. The next week,I was at a MINI gathering,and I saw S-lites that were painted with a darker silver on the spokes only,fading into the factory silver.In my opinion,try experimenting on two wheels,and it shouldn't be hard to clean up fresh paint if you don't like it.I would like to see pictures,also!
