Id like everyone opinion on something:

Would a BRG mini with white roof and mirrors look better with white or silver 8-spoke rims?

 

MHO....

white roof= white rims :smile:

White shoes go with a white hat :smile:

 

thats the way mine is and i went one further and got the checkerboard top. i still get thumbs up everywhere we go. it looks so fun and the colors make the care look cooool. brg mcs white wheels bonnet stripes and checherboard top. i dont mind looking for a twin.

 

Oh yeah. White wheels definitely. Mine is set up like that and it originally came in (wrong) with silver S-lites. The dealer had to order a new car to be built so that I could trade wheels. I went about 7 weeks before the switch and, to my eyes, it looked much better after the white wheels were on. Only down side...brake dust. Get some new brake pads (Mintex Redbox) ASAP.

thank you all!

 

a visual example to drive the point home...

nice, thanks!

 

Definitely go with white, but with the caveat that "white is harder to keep clean".

Of course, I have silver, but I hope to get white next year.

 

 

Go for the white rims but to cut down on the brake dust change the brake pads to either EBC green ($160 for entire set) or Mintex Redbox ($80 for set of four) as soon as you can. You'll get better braking as well.

Any MINI with a white roof and mirrors really looks good with white rims. More so with any dark body color.
You'll keep your MINI clean even with silver wheels so why not make it look really good.

If you are really not into cleaning your car at all then the silver wheels would show less dirt but out of every 200 MINIs I see only handful are dirty.

MINIs look great clean

 

Not many cars can get away with white wheels, but MINI is one of the exception, espcially if you have white top and white mirror cap. So, go for the white!!! :smile:
