After-market wheels on Hot Orange MINIs

Hello. I am buying a MCS JCW 2005 Hot Orange Cabrio. The current stock wheels on the car have some curb rash and so I would like to purchase after-market wheels. I am thinking 17" with the best quality rubber I can get.

I checked the fitment guide on TireRack (nifty tool seeing them on your car in your color) and I saw probably 20 styles (at least) that I like.

So I was wondering, as I try to narrow my choice, if anyone has pics of their hot orange MINI with after-market wheels mounted so that I can view some real world pics?

Thanks in advance.

Grant

I don't have hot orange, but I think my wheels would look good on any MINI. check out my gallery for a closer look.

I was thinking more along the lines of Black Racing Pro N-1's in all black to set off my black top and black hood stripes. But I give you a lot of credit for a retro look that really goes with your car. I do think that the green color of your car does set off those wheels nicely - especially from a nostalgia perspective. Your car with those rims in that color reminds me of vintage British sports cars I have seen with a similar green color and similar wire wheels.

Now I did notice that there is an orange MINI in one of your pics. How about swapping over the rims and then taking a pic?

Answered my own question. Here is my MCSCW with 17" Flik wheels in flat black. I love it.
