White Wheel Options? (Show me yours!)

Mindy wants white wheels and I can't talk her out of them. The problem is, I can't seem to find too many options. I will be purchasing them in/around March.

Requirements: I'm looking for 16inch white wheels in the $100-200 per wheel price range for a 2010 MINI Hardtop. These will be for normal street driving. I'd also like to transfer the OEM TPMS gauges if possible.

I've really only been able to find these: http://www.outmotoring.com/mini-coop...-pro-race.html - Which I was pretty much set on, but I'm not so sure anymore. Surely that's not my only option?

Where are other good places to look for wheels? (Is there a certain time of year when 'new' wheels are released?)

And, show me your white wheels if you have them! (And please list what they are if they can still be purchased.)

Rota slipstreams in my gallery. I got them from 18racing.com. 16x6.5 $125 each including shipping.

One thing you will want to change when you go to white wheels are the brake pads. OEM pads are VERY dusty and a switch to Hawk HPS and Ceramics keep my wheels a LOT cleaner.

Of course! I'll be switching pads as soon as I need new ones. Hopefully it will be around the same time as the wheels.

There are white wheels available here: http://www.wheelfire.com

I have the Speedy Wheels. They weigh about the same as the OEM wheels, but they are inexpensive.

Those look nice! Are they the OZ Alleggerita HLT? They look very similar. Those were the first ones I found, but I think I like the look (and price) of the Team Dynamics ones better.
