I have a Laser Blue/Black MCS with Challenge Spokes. I like the chrome on the car and the color combination. I'm pretty happy with the Challenge spokes, but have always liked the webspokes. I don't know if the silver brushed lip on the webspokes would be a nice accent, or if they would look too busy on the car.

I pirated a picture from an old thread by Orangecrush with webspokes. Apologies, but it was a good pic of a laser blue car.

Whaddya Think?

Edit: I like OEM wheels, please don't lecture me about buying lighter aftermarket wheels.

 

IF you like the chrome have yours plated.

 

I just meant that the webspokes have a lip on them that is not painted. It is machined and clear coated. Not into chrome wheels, I just meant that I like the chrome around the grille and tail lights. Lotsa people like to remove chrome.

Since this is opinion-based, I prefer the Challenge wheels(I had both)

 

Hands down- challenge

 

Challenge....

 

Challenge Wheels look great, unless you are going to do something custom with the web-spokes , some guys have separated the web-spokes , wheel face from barrel to do a custom paint job and polish the lip.

Good luck on whatever you do.

Those black challenge wheels do look great BTW.

I actually like the web spokes better, but just my $.02. I like the look of a well executed 2-piece wheel and the web spokes area a good example of this straight from the factory.

 

Another vote for the webspokes. I'm sorry the other wheels are truly challenged, lol.

 

Not to mention cleaning those challenge spokes.

 

R112s any day!!

 

Being 2 piece doesn't make the web spokes any better looking... Stick with the challenge spokes! Or, you could look for a nice light set of aftermar...oh, nevermind. ;-)

 

Challenge spokes, I think they are the best rims MINI offers. Although the web spokes would be my second choice for oem rims.

 

FWIW: I went with a set of Challenge on my 07, sold the webs. I like them both, but the Challenge wheels are my pick.

I have the webspokes on my 08 Dark Silver MCS. I like the look compared to chrome.The brushed lip gives it a racy look with the studs. I have the chrome trim and chose not to black out my car. I did paint the plastic trim on my car to match the body and that looks great.
Here is a link to my website where I have the pics. Painting the trim does more for the looks than changing rims. Probably cost the same.
