Vittorio - I'm not sure . . . would the white wheels contrast too much with the pepper white? How about a gun metal grey (I may be a bit biased towards this color as I'd like that for my winter shoes . . . if I ever get them)?
Heh, my wheels right now are gun metal
I guess I'll just have to try it and see how it'll look in person. Good thing plastidip is easy to peel off! I'll just have to wait for this weather to clear
Hey guys, as winter is approaching, my commute to school may have some salt and grit on the road. In order to protect my wheels, I was thinking of plastidipping them for the moment. Just unsure about the color, I'm not really a fan of black wheels. What do you guys think of white?
I think it looks cool, but won't it get dirty too easily?

That's awesome about next summer! ! Your Roadster should be ok. I'm sure there will be many drivers who will be "clearing" the DC streets for you. (If there's snow, I'm actually pretty afraid of driving in it although I have new tires. When we had snowpacalypse a couple winters ago, I had seen so many people lose control of their vehicles because they were going too fast. People negated the build up of ice under the thin layer of plowed snow.)
Are you and the family moving to Florida for retirement? The whole beach bum idea sounds pretty nice right now. Winter sucks.

My wife will fully retire in June 2014. I'll fly back here to maintain my law practice part-time, at least for a couple years. I want to hang out by our pool and the Gulf beach as much as possible. I'm sure we'll do some traveling too.

You're making me look forward to my future retirement lol

That's great! I have 12 more looonnnngggg years until I can retire. However, I'm in law enforcement and there's never a dull moment, so hopefully it will fly by.

I'm a criminal defense lawyer and former prosecutor. No dull moments, for sure.
You're most likely the very first Pepper White owner who did not go with gunmetal or black wheels. You are awesome!

Maybe lol. I'm pretty sure someone else has done it though. To me, it didn't make sense to do all the work and end up with the same or almost the same color as the original.

Oh I remember your gunmetal wheels!! But the white on white for a MINI is pretty sweet. It's too common on other brands but I've never seen it on a MINI.

Yeah, I was trying to find someone else who did white wheels on PW and couldn't find anything. During the process I was a bit unsure as I was in the garage, but once the sunlight hit the car I was very happy with the results.
I actually had to look at some Hondas in Type R trim to convince myself as they are usually white on white!
