Anybody with the 5 spoke bullit wheels on the Cabrio ever paint them something besides factory silver or white?

 

My friend had his stock 17" wheels powder coated purple to match his MCSCa! Looked nice. I think he paid about $60 per wheel.

 

There is a guy named Feedback that is in DCMM and Hawaii MINI that had them powdercoated purple.

Edit: Same person that Nimrod had said.

 

I had a local powder coating company bead blast and podercoat my stock wheels with a satin finish for winter use

$50.00 a wheel

(Images taken with my camera phone but you get the idea)

 

OOOH. I like that black! I have wanted black wheels for Cecilia. But I ALMOST had a set of R105s, but the bolt holes are different And I don't want to risk a problem with them and a fix kit.

I wonder if I could get mine black....

 

Bet those look good on your PW -- got any pics of the wheels on the car?

 

Thanks to everybody so far for your replies. Looks like the only car's these are on are Cabrio MINI's with the sort package??

 

^ True in my case

 

I dont have any pics of them on the car sorry. I'm going to use these as my winter wheels and havent bought rubber for them yet. They turned out waaaay better than I thought they would tho

 

+1 -- I would do this today, except I don't think they'd work on my JB

 

Sorry, JB? What does that stand for?

I knew that I would be saying deerrrrrrrr to the meaning of JB.

You could do it and have it turn out I think. The hardest part would be matching the finish to your paint. OR you could just go with a flat finish which would offset the wheels. Personally I would want them to match the finish of the paint.

....Kinda a crapshoot unless you find someone who knows what their doing
