I like them. They actually do work, and they're unusual. And I am often accused of not being one of the usual suspects.

I normally do not care for wheels that have colors other than the typical alloy colors but those are very cool !!

Now your MINI is screaming for some red mirror caps.

I think it's the other way around. In fact, in my mind's eye, I can't see them looking any better on any other color of MINI. With CR, the red's would not quite match up and would very likely clash.

Look great! I think DS is the only color they would actually look good on.

Your wheels look great, but you're going to have fun cleaning them, and with our weather you'll be cleaning them a lot.

When I saw the title, I thought 'oh no, not red...' then I saw your car, and I do have to admit, I am very impressed. I do agree with others though, now you need something else to tie the red of the wheels to the car. CR&PW&JB mentioned the mirror caps, which I think would really unify it. Good job, me likey!

drag wheels , DR20, i think they are 40 off set but then the other off set option is like neg 10 so you cant go wrong. 16X7 . and stock tires 195 55 R16.
