wheels

How's it going? the S-lite wheel is a good looking wheel.i think with your red
car with the white roof you should go the white powder coat route, if the powder coat company can get the right color white. if not a good body
shop should be able to paint the wheels the right shade.my Mcs is BRG with white roof and white wheels, and they look good but they do take a little
more effort to keep clean.

Nice MC but the camera may need looking at because it doesn't look so clear.

funny, I just did the same mod a few weeks back ... added S lites to the MC.
had aftermarket wheels before them (Fliks) but I like these S lites ... yeah I gained some weight, but they do feel sturdier for NYC roads.

If it were mine I would go white...and ditch the 40th sticker - the other one looks real good though!

I like the S-lites on the Cooper.
Personally I like the silver. White is too hard to keep clean.
