i want black wheels looking around on the net haven't found any and i am wondering if it would just be easier to get the one's on my mini painted. if so any thoughts on getting them painted (i.e. who to goto type of paint or maybe a powdercoat) any help would be helpful it is all new to me never really cared about the car untill the mini.

 

I think OZ makes some wheels that are available in black.

ROH also makes black wheels...
I recommend that you look at their Black Ice wheels .....
I put them on my S, and they look great.

 

any pics of your s pit there any where

 

If you do change the colors of your wheels I recoment silca blasting and powder coating. My father was in the blasting business for quite some time and had a contract with PING. He blasted all club shafts in Az then sent them off for the powdercoating at Arizona Powder Coat (I think that was the name of it). Everything turned out beautiful and is very resistant to scratching.

Cheers :smile:

 

In San Diego there is a place that specializes in refinishing wheels -- where do you live? I had this done on my Chili Red Cooper S, refinishing the 17" wheels in antrhacite. The cost: $200 and my Mini Dealer kindly swapped out the my wheels for an extra set they had AND dropped it off at the refinishing place. Send me your email and let me know if you would like to see a photo -- I will send one [Tspirit123@aol.com].
