NICE!!

I love the black wheel with polished lip! I did a similar wheel treatment on my 69 HO Firebird ragtop.

...now just black out the tail lights!

So cheery to see an immaculate, shiny MINI on a sunny day after all that snow, salt, and slush. Can't wait for Spring when all our MINIs will again be at their glorious best, all Zainoed up with windows down and sunroofs open!!!!

PS - We're enjoying a day of snow here is N. Texas....not!!! Oh well, it'll be gone tomorrow.

>>Very nice! What wheels are those?
They are Tenzo RS5's.
They were originally silver w/ a clear coat polished lip.
I powder coated them black, had the lip machined, had the black rivets made chrome and had chrome center cap covers w/ the MINI logo made.
A bit heavy for most here (20 lbs) but work well with our NY potholes and I do not autox and/or drag this MCS.
but I enjoy ....a....spirited ... romp :smile:
rofl

Peace,
D

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

One thing for sure is that you don't have to worry about the annoying BRAKE DUST showing up on those black wheels.
