Never been a fan of all black wheels. They'd only hide the beauty of those breytons. Black tires+black wheel well & flares+black rims would magnify the tires....just my opinion tho. Matte grey would look perfect!

Matte grey on a Hyper Blue MINI is just total win. That combination is the reason I fell in love with Breytons. I totally agree with minsanity about black taking away from the beauty of the Breytons, it gets rid of all the fine detail that you would normally see. Here, I'll show you the inspiration:




BlueToy's MINI.

Take a look at his build thread for about a million photos.

I meant black painted wheels take away detail of the wheels.
