06 Mcs Brg/w Wheel Ideas

Well... I've got the 17" Webspokes with Dunlop 9000 run-fats with 4K+ miles. I like the wheels, but not the tires. I'm going to replace the Dunlops with Avon 550s: I know a couple of people that use them and like them a lot. Now, I'm thinking that (even thopugh I REALLY like 'm) I'll sell the Webspoke with the Dunlops as a combo and buy new wheels for the Avons. Here's my problem: I'm having a hard time picking wheels as there don't seem to be many pictures of BRG/W MCSs out there. If any of you reading this have an MCS BRG/W and non-Mini wheels I'd love to see some REAL WORLD pictures to help make a choice on new wheels. Looking forward to your responces.

Cheers

Nethack

When I first read "go gold" I wasn't sure what to think because I really haven't seen too many vehicles with gold rims, but with that green it looks outstanding! Nice choice!

I put SSR 16x7.5 anthracite rims (205/50R16 Goodyear rubber for street) on my BRG/W MCS. Looks sporty... the Goodyears look wide with those bulging rim protectors... see my first photo in my gallery for an overall shot.

If I did this right, you should be able to check my gallery for some action shots of BRG/W with white 16x7.5 Kosei K-1Rs. The tires are 215/45 Azenis, fyi.

I've also got white 15x7s and silver (no white available at the time) 15x7s with 225/50-15 A048s and 225/45-15 Avon Tech Rs respectively. The 16x7.5s now have 205/50-16 Avon M500s for daily use.

Can you tell that I've been happy with the K-1s?

Ya know I thought about gold or bronze colored rims, but decided that, given my roof gfx (with a white base), it wouldn't look quite right to me. I've attached some pics of current choices.... the third choice being the most radical and would depend on getting matching mirror caps.

Y'all have some GREAT looking Minis
