And my vote is for blue. The rounded appearance compliments the body shape, and I haven't seen those wheels on a MINI before. I've seen the Mille Miglias on several others..

i like the wheels on the black car. I have to admit though, that i do not care for the 18's. It's a personal opinion, but 17's are the limit for me.

1st set are Axis 19's Second are Mille Miglia from the U.K.
I think 19's are a little too big. 18's are the way to go I think.
My thoughts are I can use the stock wheels and tires for the track.

Well, I like the wheels on the black car but I have no good reason why. They are very similar, aren't they? I guess I like the crisp lines of the second set. Then again, I run 7-holes so I'm not exactly an expert. :smile:

Go with 20's and no tires.
It works on COPS.
I like the smaller tires 18's just too much rim.

2 cents is for teh black one, I'm not a fan of the smooth core ones.. but hell the design is almost the same so I'd go for which ever one is cheaper or the ones that gives better performance, becasue astetically they're too close to matter.

Are you sure those aren't o-rings slipped over the rim?
I like the second style best.

Blue car. Dish look a little deeper and it looks like a polished finish whereas black one looks like silver paint.

I was leaning blue, but the more I see them, the more I like the black better.

I think the Axis wheels would look better on the brighter electric blue because of their highly polished lips.

Black Car. 18's will allow you to lower the car about 1" for a better look (and handling) later on. 19's won't.

they look almost the same - I would choose based upon price,quality and weight.
It works on COPS.
