My R113s in black that I'm selling would also look great, and you could always paint them down the road :-D

Those are gorgeous. But your ad says that you want a semi local deal. I'm in DC lol.

I vote for white wheels. I ran them for a while on my CR Cooper but I had my pads swapped out for Hawk Ceramic pads. Only had to clean the wheels every other day and I'm insanely OCD about my MINIs.

A "normal" person could get away with once a week probably.

I got Hawk HPS pads 2 days before I left for the Dragon. I love them. I'm pretty set on white haha. Now I just need to find the right wheels.

More road grime then brake dust. Look great when they are clean. But start looking crappy when not. I have EBC reds.

Gold would look great on laser blue.

Didn't pay attention to the TD's being available in white. Having ran white wheels before, I do know that white wheels that are powdercoated, make life A LOT easier than white painted wheels. My $.02!
