Black Wheels - Let's See 'Em!

Well, my Mellow Yellow/Black Clubman will be here in July, and I wanted to see what the different wheel styles look like installed.

Would you mind indulging me with some pictures?

SSW Cynik's. A few pounds lighter than S Lites. Sturdy enough for daily street use.

I'm running the original Dunlop Sport 01 Runflats my MINI came with.

I went 17x7 to avoid rubbing, turn limiters, spacers, etc. And I wanted to keep my runflats, they still have plenty of meat on them.

Motegi RT5 (discontinued now.) I may replace them with Advans or the new Tenzo 10 spoke.

Everyone, thanks for all of the replies so far. There are some great looking rides on here.

MotorOn, what are the specs (tires & wheels) on those - 'cause they look great!

I purchased these ASA AR1's from another NAMer. He had them painted black before I purchased them. They work nicely as track wheels.

Thanks, they are factory R99s that I prepped and spray painted then mounted Kuhmo ASXs but of the 205/50/17 (Z rated all-seasons) Unfortunately I now want to "blackout" my rotors because I didn't realize how shiny they were before
