What do you think of these...

Saw these wheels at a local wheel shop today. Think they'd look good on a Chili Red MCS? They are ACE Manta 17" wheels in Hyperblack. And they do come in a 4-bolt pattern to fit the Mini.

I think you've found a really good looking wheel. Should look very nice w/Chili Red.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder, i too have a CR/W MCS, but i'm not a huge fan of those style wheels, although i'd need to see it on the car to decide for certain. i just never really liked the 10 spoke 5 star style that much on any car.

That's my problem too. I like the style and appearance of the wheel itself but can't picture it on the car. Guess that's why I'm looking for some other opinions.

Did a little Photoshop work on it. Don't look half bad. What do you think?

Not my style. But if you like them, go for it. It's all up to you.

I agree. I like the ACE wheels better though.
