Does anyone have a dark silver S with dark silver aftermarket wheels? I am not sure what color wheels to get for my car and am considering dark silver wheels. Does anyone have pictures of wheels of any variation and/or color Son there dark silver S they can post?


Thanks, Sergio

 

Sergio,

DS/MCS is an awsome cobination. Wasn't crazy about the S-Lites that came with it. So I replaced mine with OZ Racing SUPERLEGGERA Antracite. I'm going to try and post, but if the picture does not come out, you could just check it in the gallery.

Good luck on your search, it took me 3 months to decide

thanks Ryan... I was wondering if I remembered that url offhand. VMA to the rescue!

 

I have the Koing 'Holes' rims with an anthacite finish in the center. It's chrome lipped and chrome center, with a split 5star design on the inside fished in anthracite. Pretty schnazzy looking IMO. I can email you some pics of her if you wish. Post your email address if you'd like to see them. I also have a dark silver MCS with dark silver roof.
Cheers,

Pciture is too small. You need to click on it in the gallery first - then copy the URL so it is not a link to the thumb-sized pic!

 

Wheels look nice. I have went to a few local places in NJ. One place actually had a set of 18" Hamonn wheels that came off the owners car once he sold it. They are nice but not $3k nice! Is that how much the Hamonn's cost?

 

The Hamann rims are pretty sweet. Last I heard they were like $400 per rim for the 17" size. That still seems a bit high ($3000)to ask for used rims though. But that'll be what you're going to pay for them.
Look up Konig and see if you like the 'Holes' rims. If you'd like to see what they look like on a DS-MCS, than I can send you pics of it.
Happy hunting.
Cheers,

 

I'm putting Stilauto SR500 17s on my DS/B this weekend. Respraying the rims to get them a darker silver with black insides. Will look badass. Of course pics to come in just a couple days.

Got the wheels from a friend who had them on his MINI. They've got a couple scuffs on them, so I'm going to fix those and then respray 'em so they'll look fresh and sexy!!!!!!!

You will HAVE to show us the finished product!
Sounds like they are going to be sweet!

 

I have an all dark silver MCS and like the look of the stock 17" S-lites. The color isn't that far off from the body. However, if I were going to change, I really like the looks of these that come in anthracite:

Davbret,

I love your wheels--you did a great job! Haven't had a chance to look up your latest mods, to see what you did about black chrome, aerogrille etc, but I'm sure you've posted it and I'll look for it.

Hoping you'll give me info about your WHEELS...I'm on the verge of buying the SR500's for my DS/W cooperS and have finally found a pic--yours!!! I know you painted them (very impressive) but I'm a chrome lovin kinda gal and will probably be happy with the stock coloring (if you know where I can see stock on a DS Mini please direct me there!)

My question--how does the 38mm offset affect your car? I don't want to go with a widebody, and am concerned with that degree of offset...will it throw a lot of crud onto my car? Do you have stock springs or are you lowered? I've been thinking about Hsports, and the dealer says "no problem-no rubbing" but I'm a little worried about it; I'm a daily driver, fun aggressive not serious about speed, so I don't require racecar like handling with these wheels..

I'm also concerned about comfort--really wish they came in a 16inch....would love to hear anything you have to say about ride, handling, etc...THANKs Jenni

 

There's a picture of mine (with 10 spoke 17x7.5, 17.6lb Rota Tarmac wheels) and several other DS with aftermarket wheels in the "Show me your WHEELS!" thread.
