Call out to PW Owners with Aftermarket Wheels

I'm looking for pictures of anyone with a PW Clubman with Black roof and pillars (base or Sport) with aftermarket wheels. I'm basically looking for a good look I can copy .

Please throw any ideas in the 16" or 17" size at me. I found this just a minute ago - too much? The PW Clubman with B roof has some red built in (brake lights) so....

Too much!

For my tastes, yes, too much. Only the red, though, as I really like mesh wheels. But it's your car so you should get what you like.

If you want low key...... black rims with out the red trim....... but, if a little more flash is hat you want, do the red trim on the wheels and paint the side mirror covers the same shade of red. You would be noticed.

There is a PW/B R56 on here some where with a similar combo, I think it looks great.

I was also going to mention adding red mirror covers to go with the red on wheels. I think that's called an attack line, or something.

IMO, without the red, black wheels just sort of disappear in the dark wheel wells. With the black trim around the wheel wells, I don't find the black pit a very good look. If the red is too much for you, another option is a polished rim. I'm about to put Rota Slipstream Royal Gunmetal 16x7 wheels on my Pure Silver MCS Coupe. They are a dark grey metallic finish with a polished (bright aluminum) rim.

I really like the Rota Slipstreams but at $535 plus shipping a little to pricey for me right now.

Some great ideas. Thanks. I'm looking at the desktop picture I saved from the MiniUsa.com site when I built my configuration and I see the silver wheels there and I think I prefer the contrast of either a silver or light colored wheel and the black tire. As opposed to the blackness of a black wheel and black wheels. If I had a dark body color then that would look great.

Thanks for the ideas so far. I'm looking at the Rota Slipstreams on their website.
