I recently used the black out tape on the grille and darkened the arch lights with the strips and am really enjoying the look. I was wondering how black wheels would be on a BRG and white Mini.

Not exactly what you are looking for.

but hopefully this will give you an idea.

 

No, thats pretty much what I was looking for. In my mind, I can add the black arch lights but its hard to imagine the wheels. I still can't decide if I like the black wheels or if it would look better with silver/anthracite wheels like factory. Any opinions?

 

BRG with white roof is very versatile.

Wheel options-
White
Black
Black with machined lip
Anthracite
Anthracite with machined lip
Chrome
BGR (painted or powdercoated) with machined lip

Most of these combinations I have seen and I think they will work well.

Darker colors are more aggressive and with black or BRG roof it's increasing that look a notch more.

I think black with machined lip like above is quite good.
Some owners really do like white but the selection of wheels isn't as strong- good white solutions are stock OEM white wheels, O.Z. wheels, minilyte, and some rota wheels.

 

Do you have any pictures you can post?
Thanks.

 

And you can't forget the classic combo that Iam going to be doing on my BRG/WH. I will be putting some bronze rims on it.

 

I'll try to soon. I have to work for the next 5 days and its supposed to rain tomorrow. Maybe when I get out of work early this week I'll wash it and try to post some pics. Oh, and I'll have to steal Derek86's digital camera.

 

No worries, don't sweat it if it's going to be a pain.

 

BRG can definately work with bronze/gold. The classic look!

I'll throw in another picture.

 

I have the same color and always wondered if black rims were right or not, but I found a set of white OZ rims that are amazing with the color.

 

ya definately look into the bronze/gold scheme it looks sick

 

Dark cars with white wheels look really good to me, especially the BRG with 5 or 6 spoke white wheels. It is beautiful out today, I'll see if we can get some pictures after work.

I know they are night shots, it is all I could get after work. I'll get some daytime shots soon.

The cars a little swirly because I couldn't detail how I wanted but what are ya gonna do? I'm surprised myself of how well they turned out. That was $5 of blackout tape from Pep Boys and the arch kit from Moss.

 

here are the things i have done this far. looking for new wheels at the moment.









I would like to see more options as well, since im looking for new wheels.

 

I am a big fan of bronze/gold, to bad I don't have a better pic

 

I'd like to see a bronze/black on a Hyper Blue/Black MCS.

 

totamdu are those adr soduko's or whatever. I might get those instead of rota's you can get em on ebay with tires for 600 bux in 17's

 

check my gallery for a pic of 15" Rota Attacks, black with polished lip.

 

They are the ADR's from ebay. 18's. But I went with Bridgestone Potenza's 215/35/18. ADR's arn't the best problably, under $500 shipped, I havn't had a problem with them. I have run on cheapo tires before and won't go back. Back to the thread, BRG goes with alot of different rims. It literally took me 4 months to decide. My other top 2: Konig rewinds, or ASA JH6's.

 

Man, that's nice...I'm starting to lean back towards bronze/gold from black wheels.

 

It's also lowered a bit. Tein Springs. So remember when your tire sidewall is 1 inch tall and thick, and your car is lower. You feel every bump in the road. But turn on rails. And have to buy the M7 strut tower plates. So add another 100 bucks to the cost or so, as a precaution to your towers.

 

I am really starting to like the BRG/bronze look. I like the looks of Rota Attacks. But a couple of questions. 1. Are they available in Mini 56.1mm hub bore? 2. Weight, preferably 17in. 3. Where is a good place to buy them and about what is the price?

 

Rota Attack wheels are pretty sexy in my opinion.
