do you mean polished gold wire spoke rims shod with low-profile white walls that are about 1" too narrow? i think those only work when you pair them with a purple velour interior.

Eeeewwwww...sorry, just being honest but I don't think any "gold" rims would look pleasing to the eye. The pepper white is too beautiful to clash with gold. Anthracite, silver, or chrome would be just fine I think. :smile:

Pepper white with Gold finished rims might work. It isn't something many people will have so pics might be hard to find.

Also gold finish is not easy to find for the MINI in 4 bolt 4x100 pattern. and with the correct offset

Well, the gold wheels would sure be different -- but if they were paired with the Cordoba Beige interior on your Pepper White -- that might be quite a stunning combination !

(Have you seen the beige interior yet in a gold Cooper? -- It's a knockout especially if the car carries a black roof & mirrors !)

i like bronze/gold wheels on white in general (as i like them on almost any color car) but the pepper white is an off white so it might not work. i love them on an NSX...

i've parked next to a pepper white and tried to imagine it with my bronze volks and it would look ok. if it looks good to you then that's all that really matters. just ignore the comments,it's all up to you.
