Let's see some pics of aftermarket wheels on black Minis

I'm buying new wheels soon, and could use some pics of different wheels on black/dark Minis to help me decide which ones to get. I'm currently leaning towards Rota Circuit 8s, Exel TZ-7 or 10s, or Panasports.

Thanks!

I also have an all Black MCS and am deciding on wheels. I am leaning towards Centerline Neutrons. They are forged and cost $171 each at jegs.com I would post a picture if I could, but would love some feedback. They remind me of a cross between a classic and modern look which is what my Mini reminds me of.

I forgot mine too! They are Rota Grids with 205/50 16 ES100s on them. This is a cheap and light setup that saved ~44lbs total vs the damn s-lites.

OMG, that all black MCS is my MINI's idol! They need to smoke our the lower side markers, though...and paint their door handles and gas cap like koolmini did (and I am working on).

I think I found a new pic for my desktop.

Thanks!
Instead of looking for some after-market wheels for her (my 'S' is named Roxanne, of course...), decided to have the stock wheels powder-coated vulcan black. Tinted the windows black, and interior is black leather. Oh, my favorite color, if I failed to mention, is black. This is my first reply to a thread, so I hope I didn't mess up to much.... I would like to send a foto, but am having a little trouble figuring how...maybe if you get this message, you can inform me how to send a foto, and then I can show you a pic of Roxanne.

Yeah, I wish. But that's not my mini. I have a BRG/W one.
