Black or Silver Wheels for a Pepper White/Black MCS?

My PW/B MCS is almost here and wanted to see what people's opinions are on the color wheels I should get... I'm a silver wheel type of guy (http://www.getccnp.com/minicanyon.jpg) as you can see on my MC but after seeing a lot of pepper white cars with black/dark wheels, it seems to be quite nice..... any recommendations? I was considering the exel tz10's like ryephile's but in silver (http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/exel/tz-10.gif)... they do come in hyperblack as well which looks sweet.... so many wheels , only one car

if i had to do it over gain i'd have waited till the '04s were out and gotten the PW/B MCS. (don't get me wrong, i LOVE my '03 BRG/B MCS) have you seen the AC Schnitzer wheels in black? whey look very sharp and they've got the polished rim to set it off a little. they'd look sick on a PW/B MCS i think.

I like PW/B with black wheels with silver polished lip. Deep dish is nice.

Second choice. All black wheels- easy to keep looking sharp.

Those silver wheels on your MC look pretty sharp. I'm kinda in the same boat as you (I like silver wheels or chrome.) I've never liked black wheels. Just personal preference. I realize many people choose these racing style wheels because of weight, but if you're not as much concerned about the wheel weight, chrome looks very sharp! the MHT/Foose Lusso wheels look smokin on a MC or MCS.

I think the black wheels would look great on your PW/B MCS. Would offset the black cap and make your MINI stand out.

Black Wheels

I am a big fan of black wheels! I have had black wheels on my cars for years and 2 or my three cars have black wheels.

Cars look great.

I agree with your Suggestion on Color/ wheel combo. Here's a pic of mine

I LOVE black wheels... Honestly, it's the only way to go on your PW.

Here's a closer look at the FLIK Wasps (which I love as well):


Team Dynamic Racing 1's


Some cool rims on Tire Rack. "Sport Edition" Fox 2's... They're more grey, but I wonder if you can get them in black.

I'd definitely go with black wheels on a PW/B MINI. That black-n-white thing is so elegant and clean looking. Hard to beat in my opinion, FWIW.

Except for the weight, I think the 17" S-lites look sharp...
