Rota Wheels: Help!!

I'm going nuts trying to decide what to put on my '07 mellow yellow/black MCS:

Gunmetal Rota rb's (w/ silver lip), or

Black Rota J.SPL's (w/ silver lip)

Does anyone have opinions or pictures? Would gunmetal look good? Any help would really be appreciated.

Many thanks, and Happy Easter!

My MINI's PW/B, but I love the look of RB's in gunmetal.











On MY/B black wheels may look better. However I definitely prefer the style of the RB's over the J.SPL's.
Best of luck with your decision!

I putting these on my Mellow Yellow.

Finish is Hyper Black, which is like a really dark gray.

Well, get the plug in! Where did you get --- where are you getting --- your wheels? Also, since you're one of the few (maybe the only) owner with a MY factory aero kit installed who's been kind enough to post pictures, we MY fans would really like to see these wheels on your car asap! Post again soon!

Thanks!
