I've looked and can't seem to find out exactly which white the OEM white wheels are. They sure don't look like PW so I'm guessing its the same as the roof/mirrors; can anyone confirm ??

 

That is correct - they are not Pepper White, the are a pure white.

 

MINI calls the color aspen white.. from what PPG tells me

 

Aspen White, paint code 899. I got touch-up paint for mine from MINI.

Exactly what I was hoping to learn - thanks!

 

These were posted elsewhere at some point (probably mini2):

Aspen White: PN# 51 91 0 301 836
Grey: PN# 51 91 0 396 803
Anthracite: PN# 51 91 0 396 804

 

Well, I "thought" it was clear.... but now I'm wondering....
BMW, and apparently many of the German manufacturers, I've been told for many years, use a variety of Wurth brand products - and this includes Wurth's silver lacquer wheel paint. It is supposedly a perfect match for many/most BMW wheels - and I'd assume MINI wheels too. In perusing the Wurth catalog I noticed that they list an identical product in Gloss White. Has anyone used Wurth's Gloss White on their wheels?
