Bronze wheels on DS/W?

Just wondering, does this combo sound weird to anyone? im seriously considering the Konig Helium 17 inch size, would this combo look out of place?

my other choice right now is the All Black Subzeros

Depends on your tastes...

I personally love bronze wheels i have always had them nothing else. Don't have a set yet, but my next wheels are Volks SE37K in 17". I think if you painted all the black plastic it will blend in a bit more. I actually test fitted a look-a-like SE37K (Konig Next I think..) on mine to see if it looked good. They were only 15", but i gotta say they looked sweeeeeeeeeeet!! I suggest find a person willing to give a few minutes for a quick swap to see it in person.

Tire Rack wheel configurator

If you haven't done this already, you can go to the TireRack.com and load your exact car, and then test-fit all the wheels they sell for the MINI. You see a side view of the car, and you can basically see how your MINI will look with any of their wheels, "virtually".

It's a pretty useful little tool.

EXACTLY!! order bronze, this is what you receive. after the 2nd set came, i just went ahead and used em, as they look pretty good-but they are NOT bronze-konig just calls em that.
