Nice OEM wheel mod I had done recently, very nice IMO!

I like to keep my car looking like it could've come from the factory like that when doing all mods, so this next mod is no exception:



Same shot but with the flash on


Close up of the mod


IMO this mod was well woth the $50.00 I paid to have them made/installed and I'm sure my buddy Jeff who owns DJ's Window Tinting can make some up for you as well BTW, I'd say they'll be cheaper than $50.00 because I stopped in there and had him install them personally.

Very cool!

I took a similar approach with my wheels. I ordered four center caps from factory R90 wheels, removed the MINI logos and glued them into the aftermarket center caps after removing the Volk Racing logos (along with the Rays Engineering decals). I share your desire to keep things stealthy. BTW, the color of this photo is a bit off. The centers of my wheels are gray, but in this picture they were reflecting a clear blue sky.

The OEM MINI wheel emblems work great on a variety of aftermarket wheels. You can get just the logo stickers without center caps (part number 36136758687). They were less than $2 each from Classic MINI.

I ordered mine from Bavarian Autosport. They look great on my Team Dynamics wheels.

...So more about the wheels. They look great! What make, model, size, color(s) etc. - and where did you get them

17 x 7 PIAA Sport Mesh in hyper black and I got them through Discount Tire, special order but they can get anything really. They listed for $239.00 per but I paid $220.00 because I've spent alot of money with them over the past 10 years on a variety of rides
