I was thinking about buying some s-lites and powder coating them pepper white. i know SOMEONE has to have pepper white rims to match along with the body..
..or is that unheard of?
but someONE has got to have done it already. so share them pictures!!

 

cmon..i know SOMEBODY has to have pepper white rims..if it hasn't been done. that makes me want to do it more.

 

We have a set of white S-lites that are abused at the track... but they have never been on a MINI... just the Miata.


Personally, I've never seen white wheels on a white MINI.

 

hrm..well i wasnt talking about WHITE wheels. but powdercoated PEPPER white wheels on the same color car. i thought SOMEONE would have it..guess not.
guess i'll be one of the firsts

 

Pepper white is the only white MINI's come in... saying white means pepper white. I am well aware of what you are saying.

There are white S-lites that are available but they are a true white, not pepper white. I am clearly saying that I have never seen true white or pepper white wheels on a white MINI.

 

mm i figured that's wat you were saying. but i've yet to see any white or pepper white wheels on a white mini.
it makes me want to do it more. thanks for the replies Jenn B

 

Go for it.

Definitely powder coat if you are going to do the whole rim though. I had mine painted CR since I only did the lip and wheels can't be powdercoated partially (unless they are true two-piece), they will only do the whole thing. Anyway, I drive hard and it's starting to show. I've been using touch up paint to spruce them up here and there.

 

There is so much brake dust on my S-lite that it became black. Matches my black Mini nicely.

 

I have never seen anything but just plain white wheels myself. I am uncertain about pepper white wheels myself but thats just preference. I have black wheels on the wish list myself

 

heh that was a lot of 'myself's
but it's mainly cause i dont really like black rims. well i do. but not in love with them
and it's also cause i have a pw top. i wanna make it all pw. wonder how it would look.
man..i was pretty certain that someone would have pw rims.

 

minjae, I am expecting my pw soon and have thought about white (pw) wheels but am afraid i'd be cleaning them every other day. please post pics or pm me if and when you decide to go that route. thx!

 

no problem. i just need to find some s-lites for CHEAP and then find a good shop to powdercoat them. all you need to keep the wheels clean is some wheel wax and a wheel qd spray. ( i think...correct me if im wrong. i have yet to wax my wheels and clean them..they get TOO dirty i sometimes give up..)
