There is a guy on the TV show flipping Vegas that has a GT3 RS that has the orange wheels and it looks pretty sweet, but some hate it for sure. All I need is about $200K and I will get one too.

 

As to the 2nd part of the OP's question on wheel recommendations, that's a very wide open question. Depends on your budget, taste, performance, and countless other factors. Since you are considering orange wheels, that tells me your taste is more unique than the average mini owner so any recommendations from the 'average joes' probably wouldn't float your boat. In any event, if I were in the market for a set of wheels right now, I'd seriously consider the Sparco Assetto Gara wheels in 18" x 7.5". They're at the TireRack on clearout for $109 which seems like a great deal. At 19.6 lbs, reasonably light for 18" as well. Slap on some 215/35R18 Fuzion ZRi tires for less than $800 total...not bad in my books. My guess is that these wheels might seem boring to you.

 

Hey guys, just an update, I've decided to paint the S-lites white and i ordered some orange plasti-dip (should be here by tomorrow) and will be trying it out on the mirror caps. As far as new wheels are concerned, after some serious contemplating, I've decided to go with some 17" silver BBS RS reps and dropping the car with some Tein lowering springs. I plan on perfecting my stance!

I actually really like these wheels, just not for me. Im into wheels with lips, especially on a mini.

 

i think white is a good choice and a safe one too if you decide to sell the rims someday. i'm looking forward to seeing how your makeover goes. Keep the pics coming!

 

I like it

 

!go gators!

 

Will post a picture of them on tomorrow

Is the Blaze a Crayola orange or brighter like safety vest orange?

Looking forward to seeing more pics.

 

I just gotta see the finished product....subscribed.

 

Boy oh boy is it BRIGHT. It's the exact same color as the orange used on construction signs and cones. Let's just say I'll never lose my car in the dark. The pictures really didn't reproduce the color well and It's pouring over here today so, I'll take out my dslr when its nice out to get better pics.

 

Whoa - it looks almost radioactive in that first picture. I like the look in the second pic a lot. Nice pop! What's next?

 

It needs more for it to blend in like on the Porsche and GT40. IMO

 

tight

 

Im most likely going to do something with the wind fairing as well as plasti-dip the S badge on the boot and side scuttles orange.

 

So I've looking at some wheel options and I wanna know what you guys think of the Axis OG Europas:

I've been debating between these and RS reps, but Europas are definitely less common, at least in my area.

 

Man those wheels on your car would look BA!!! Im so regretting not getting that color now!!! That is the best color IMO that mini put out!! I got green and I'm liking it but seeing your car makes wish I could have found a good blue one!!!

 

I was watching the daily procession of MINIs passing vendor ally at MOTD one year and I came to this conclusion. There are a lot of MINIs I think look sharp and a lot of color combinations that are quite the bomb. But there are very few MINIs I would like to own.
So......do what you like and the others be damned.
