Anyone have Indi Blue s or a pic with Gold aftermarket wheels? Just trying to get an idea if the color combo works or not,as i don't like white wheels on Indi blue.
Thanks in advance.

I really hope this thread gets a response. I was thinking about a set of bronze wheels myself (ala STi).

I can show you a pic I took of IsAMini's BRG Cooper with gold rims. You could PM her to ask what make they are -- I don't know. They really look nice on her MINI.

I have always been a fan of BRG and Gold.
I know in the thread that I mentioned above that there is a Black mini that is running 17x7(7.5)s in the now discontinued, Ro_Ja LT 5s that were in Gold. I really like the LT 5s in Anthracite myself.

Given a white roof and bonnet stripes the white wheels are a plus.

Gold wheels could work if you had an all blue body or even gold stripes.

Some examples of gold rims with blue body color

Integra

Thanks everyone, Minihune you are correct i don't think they would work w/ the white bonnet stripes and mirrors,so now i'm thinking black,i just don't like white wheels,may even stay with the R90's and powder coat the centers blue,i've seen that.
Thanks all, Bill

No Problem, Yeah I think that the R90s with a good powder coat job would look great and save some $$$
