Show me your WHEELS!

You SHOULD do it. I wouldn't call you a hack. I don't know or care if I was the first to repaint a set of Flik wheels this way, but I like the look. I think painting your wheels will be a huge pain in the **** though--cause they will have to deal with painting around the spokes---there's a lot more access to the inner lip on my wheels.
Masking off the rest of the wheel would be like pulling nose hairs.

i think the red highlight looks great on yours because mostly your mini is monotone with a bit of red accent. on the mjh-mobile there's so many colors going on it will just add to the clutter. at some point you just have to stop the modding.

Ehh tried these...
Ride was to stiff and wooden, horrible on the track too, couldn't get any power down when exiting corners. Then there was whole beaver incident...oy don't get me started, I'll just have to live with the fact that PETA protests me.

What offset were you running? I've heard waxing with Creosote keeps the beavers away, adds lifespan to the wheels and works wonders with the control of brake dust . . .

Personally I think chrome only really suits black Minis. It also depends on how much chrome u already have on your car and how often you are willing to clean your wheels. I have 18 inch chromes and I clean them at least twice a week. Brake dust can build up and if you have chrome rims the brake dust can actually make the chrome a bit patchy and ruin the shine.

Willing to clean??? With all due respect, I have been know to wash my car every day of the week; have washed it in below freezing weather, trying to deal with the water freezing, and have spent hours cleaning the inside of the rims. So cleaning is the last of my worries!! I have been accused on more than one occassion of being a little particular. Actually, I need to buy stock in Zaino! Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

We are on tight water restrictions here. Used to be $400 fine if you were caught using a hose, or watering something other than a plant. And good old 4 minute showers
But if cleaning is not an issue go for chrome. I did
PS: I can see the links and one lil blue box with a question mark in it below the last link. (I am on a mac)
