Alright, here's the scoop. I have spent the last several months (yes, months ) spec'ing out a dark silver/black MCS and deciding on aftermarket rims. Had it all figured out to go with Rota RB in gunmetal. Well, then I pulled the trigger on an AB/AB MCS. Go figure. Impulse, stupidity, karma... Bottom line, now I have to figure out aftermarket rims for an AB and I'm not looking forward to going through the entire "show me your wheels" and "post pics of your mini" thread from the beginning again. Lazy? You bet your - oh wait, probably not appropriate when asking for help...

I'll start looking again but if any of you have any ideas/pics of the ultimate rims for an AB/AB MCS I may save what is left of my sanity.

THANKS!

 

For the sake of an example-
(imagine it's an MCS hardtop)

It depends on what type of look you want - dark coloured rims for a more stealth look or bright silver rims in order for them to stand out, multi-spoke, mesh, etc.

 

Minihune - that is a sick ride! Black out taken all the way and a red accent. Sweet.

roofaS - yeah, I hear you. I don't think I will be doing the complete black out so (today) I would probably say the look I have liked the best would be black with a polished lip.

I've made it back up to page 17 in the post pics of your r56 thread. Only 91 more pages before I get back to do the show me your wheels thread all over again!

Heh heh. Thanks for the feedback.

 

 

Maybe have a look at the AB Registry in General Mini Talk.

MX100 - now that is sweet

 

what size tires and wheels are you running?

 

Sorry, forgot to mention I hit that thread already. A lot less active than I expected. Only 13 pages. Not a whole lot of pics either.

MX100 - I LIKE! What are those?

 

I'm also AB/AB and while I know many folks don't think they're cool, I really like the 17" S-Lites I recently picked up from a fellow NAMer. Here's a photo from AMVIV5 this weekend...

 

Here's mine...

poolemac - can't go wrong with BBS! Nice pics in the gallery too.
