What color rims could a silver/white mini pull off?

I have white rims and mirror caps on my silver MINI. I think it looks awesome and I get tons of compliments. And you have a white roof which would be even better!

It will look great with white rims until the first time you touch the breaks.
Then you will have brake-pad dust coated rims changing shades of grey from light to dark.

White wheels are impossible to keep clean.
BTDT.
Never again.

YMMV.

White wheels will show dirt and grime (mostly on the front wheels). To reduce that you can install aftermarket brake pads which dust much less than the OEM pads and will function fine for street use.

Contact Way at Waymotorworks.com to determine which pads suit your needs.
