Well, after expressing much "Bally who" about how I didn't like "all Black" wheels on a Pepper white mini (with black arches), I decided to powder coat my Konig Feathers flat black 
Konig doesn't offer the 16 inch feathers in "charcoal" (flat black), They only offer the flat black in their 15 and 17 inch wheel. My wheels were originally "Matte silver" as shown in the picture below. I really liked the matte silver (still do) but, my daily driver wheels are a "matte black" with a brushed aluminum lip and I really love the way they look on the car. The sliver wheels just didn't go with the look of my car (IMOP) !
I'm really pleased on how they came out and I think they complement the full black out treatment I have done on Boo !

Thank you for the kind words !
Its kind of funny but, the reason I swapped out the black caps was because I always felt the black caps looked out of place ! For me, the white caps flow much better against the white body and as a bonus, it adds in my quest to be a little different then other Pepper white/black Minis 
Who knows, I might end up spraying the roof Pepper white ! Hmmmm, Now you got me thinking !
This picture illustrates to me how the black caps work well with a Red/black combo and (IMOP) how the white caps work well with my PW/B combo !

Enkie Performance Gunmetal ES6 16's - 38 mm offset.
Was looking for a match to the OEM MINI DS, but these will do.
The ribbed chrome rim lip matches the 03' chrome front grille surround and the color seems to match the M7 Extreme Hood scoop (The DS paint I purchased was not to spec's and came out darker than OEM ...
)
But what the hay, now the Scoop matches the rims...

i assume you got rid of the 5th gen. I hang over there for the off topic stuff now that i got rid of my accord... it can get hilarious in there.
ALL: I just received my tires/wheel combination from Tire Rack. Alex and the folks there took my order on Monday night, and by this morning I had them sitting in my garage. Now that is service, and I love the tires/wheels.
Alex, GREAT JOB and everybody I know wanting wheels or tires will be contacting you. Thanks,
Ken
