Rota Wheels
Does anyone know if the yellow Rota RB wheels look good on a Mellow Yellow MCS? Do they match Melllow Yellow?
Also, can anyone share any pictures of Rota RB or Rota JSPA wheels on their Mini?
I'm getting ready to make a purchase real soon. Any friendly advice would be great. Many thanks.

I doubt they would match and even if they did imagine how the color would change with a bit of black brake dust

Great advice. I'm leaning toward those rb's. Forgot about the brake dust. Good point. Thanks. Other views?
I can't wait to pull off the snows!!

I was thinking about doing the same thing with the Royal blue & my Lightning blue mcs, ended up going with the silver.
I also purchased some wheel wax/guard from detailers paradise to help with the brake dust
they're such nice looking wheels, I think getting them colored darker just wouldn't show off their shape.

No, they just lay about the house and refuse to go out for job interviews.
Look at Msteadman's post. They are 17".

Ha Ha. Good to know. These are my favorite after market wheels that don't break the bank.
I wonder what they would look like if you color matched them to Chili Red and leave the lip silver. Something to ponder.

Good looking wheels guys. When I wear out my runflats would like to replace the wheels & tires with these. Where is the best place to order them?

Would MINI center caps fit?

The OEM wheel centercaps are 2" dia. The Rota RB are 1.75". I had Aesthetic Creations make some 1.75" dia. custom caps for me.
