I purchased a set of OZ Crono's and have had one bead blasted, powder coated white and clear coated. I also replaced the OZ logo on the white.

I'd like to get feedback from anyone interested in giving it.

Here is the White:

Here is the Silver:

Not sure how well pictures truely reflect the difference between the two.

Sorry if the pictures don't show up I have never been able to figure that damn trick out, you'll just have to click on the address if the images aren't in the post.

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Figures the images don't show up, the method to do this on this site is awful!!!
A little help please!

Right click and select "properties" .

You'll notice you've got two http://http:// in your URL.
Remove the first one [ http:// ] and it will work.

Hey, finally that works! Thans so much, been trying to figure that one out for over a month, you were the first person to explain it the best!

Now, what do you think of the wheels?

Hank Jun 24, 2003 09:20 AM

The photos don't make the white wheels 'pop' as much as they actually do so you'll have to stretch your imaginiation slightly.

VerucaSalt Jun 24, 2003 09:33 AM

I like the white. Since you have the American flag on your roof, the white wheels compliment the flag. :grin:

Hank Jun 24, 2003 09:47 AM

Thanks L.Mini!

dandp Jun 24, 2003 10:15 AM

Hank,

I took the liberty of doing a little Photoshop to bring the white out...hope you don't mind.

I like them BTW...then again, I would :cool:

it looks very nice hang

give us an angled shot of the car, including the front AND the sides..then we can make a better judgment :smile:

pooky13 Jun 24, 2003 10:28 AM

Definitely the white wheels look great. :grin:

Hank Jun 24, 2003 10:34 AM

Can't give you an angled shot, the pics I've posted 'photoshoped' in the wheels.
I could do an angled shot in Photoshop but it would take too much time.

It seems, based on the feedback here and from other threds talking about white wheels, is the white wheels look pretty good. My only conern was that they would make the car look a bit 'Ricey' if you know what I mean. So far no one has made that comment.

Thanks again! Looks like we'll have them all done in white!

Hank Jun 24, 2003 10:35 AM

Hey Dandp, thanks for the brushing and flossing, it really makes the difference!

MGCMAN Jun 24, 2003 10:36 AM

White is the way to go with that CR beastie. Sharp shoes.

red03miniS Jun 24, 2003 10:38 AM

oh i misunderstood hank

i thought u already bought the wheels and painted them thus i was asking for otoher pics to get the full effect

i vote for the silver. i think the white wheels/white roof combo looks great and it looks trendy

i change wheels like people change underweare, so resale is imp to me, and silver wheels will go with any color and thus easier to sell

i am a business man first, lol thus my opinion is biased :smile:

dandp Jun 24, 2003 10:39 AM

No problem Hank...as far as white wheels go, look at the World Rally Cars - lot's of white OZ Racing wheels there, and that's not rice. They are awesome cars - go for the rally look...

Hank Jun 24, 2003 10:41 AM

Hey, you're right the world rally cars do drive white OZ's!
I should have realized that myself because my company manufactures World Rally car parts (for model cars) http://www.scalemotorsport.com

Thanks again Dandp!

vdubdoug Jun 24, 2003 10:42 AM

It looks very HOT with the white wheels :smile:

I am jealous :evil:

red03miniS Jun 24, 2003 10:46 AM

yeah its def not rice

your car is my inspiration, and if u were rice, i would have to look in the mirror

no worries hank, your car and yourself, sir, are class acts:)

Hank Jun 24, 2003 10:56 AM

Red03 Mini I hear ya and agree, and that's why I am keeping the original S-Lites with the Pirelli Runflats as spares so when and if I ever do sell this puppy I will have the originals and if the white wheels start to appear faddish, I can change them back or get them powder coated another color. Hey, what a novel concept another excuse to spend money on my mini.

I wonder when my wife will start to notice!

Thanks

keeping the orginals is a great idea, people like buying stock cars, not modded cars. not like ur ever selling hte mini :grin:

Darxar Jun 24, 2003 11:29 AM

Yep! it's easyer to ask for forgiveness than premission, thats my moto. :lol:

Oh the white is FAR from ricey! The thought never even crossed my mind. I am a big fan of consistency and the white wheels with the white in the roof really keep a consistent look. Plus I have never seen those wheels in white. So you would definitely be original in my book! :smile:

digitalpussi Jun 24, 2003 11:36 AM

I think those look fantastic in white!!!!!
