Bella got new shoes!

Finally got the rims i've been searching for










I was looking for gunmetal or a darker bronze instead of gold. The light gold color doesnt neccessarily match right now, but i got a decent deal on them.

With gunmetal and a lowering job (photoshopped)

What do you guys (and gals) think?

That's a really great looking Cooper! Of course with me being a Cooper owner too, maybe I'm a bit partial to them, but looks great to me!!

They look great - very nice car. The gunmetal photoshop looks nice but all you have to do is let a little brake dust build up on the gold and you are there!

Ditto on both.

As for the drop, I can see some major rubbing going on. But heck who cares...
