Just ran across these new wheels by Knoig called "Hot Swap". I must say, its a pretty cool idea.

The wheels come in black or silver/chrome rims, but you can purchase inserts for the spokes which will allow you to change the spoke colors.

The wheel size for the MINI looks a little different than the one shown in the attached picture; the center where the lug holes are is covered with a cap.

Here is a link. Be sure and click on the different colors below the wheel to see how you can change spoke colors.

Spoke inserts may also be painted to color match your MINI's body color.

 

They're interesting wheels but I've seen similar concepts in the past (changeable wheel designs) so who knows how long these will be around. I just hope that the color matched centers aren't too big an attraction for thieves.

 

those (that idea) been around for a while...

 

yah pretty old news.....but man those wheels are ugly

 

Remember what your Mom says: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

 

MOMO put out a set that you could change the color of the inserts. I like the look of them.
