Mille Miglia Action 16s. Had some fitment issues with my Winter setup while the car was on the hoist, and this was all I could get off the shelf at the time. Since they don't exist anymore I will be taking a lot of time keeping them clean and in good shape this winter, and making them my summer wheels.

According to the search function, no one here has this particular wheel on a MINI, so at least I'm one of a kind

Blizzaks are nice. Of course, like most snow tires, you instantly lose some steering response after putting them on, but I can't wait to mess around in the snow.

nikmeister, those NM wheels are very nice. Thanks for posting more pics to drool over. How is the finish holding up?

Now I need to decide if I want those or the Ultraleggra's.

powdercoated black BBS RC 17''

Hey Guys,

Been a while since I've posted here, but thought I'd share my latest wheels. Actually, they're the same wheels I've been running for a few years but this time, they're powdercoated flat black

Before:


After:




During a dew-ey morning:


The murder-out project continues...

I've searched and searched but can't find any pics of a pepper white with anthracite OZ Alleggerita wheels. I'm trying to decide between black or anthracite. If anyone has any pics I would love to see some!

Thanks in advance,

Chad

I kinda like the stark contrast of the chrome-y headlights and rings, but maybe someday. I'd likely do it in conjunction with black projectors!

That's dope!! That's how I originally wanted my mini but ended up getting a chili red. You should def body color the headlight rings that will top it off perfectly!

poolemac - I wonder how the flat black deals with brake dust and clean-up? Wheels look great! I'm considering it for my winter wheels (Bridge Spokes).
