Color for rims...

[chaditotx]

Got a bright red 3dr hatch, and just bought R81 Mini Cooper rims. What color should I paint them? Tried to upload pics but don't have them online yet.

Gotta love the R81's. Here's a pic for those not familiar:

With the red LB, I say either keep them silver or go white.

What Scott says... white :drool:

[TickleTimeTim]

those are sexy sexy wheels. green... i mean white!

[PatrickJohnson]

I think they'd look awesome as is.

Right on.. you think white would be cool if I have a lot of black accents? Black Toyota badges and a black mask painted on grill? I'm not good with colors. Neon green would look wild.. with the red car kinda like Christmas on crack. I had toyed with black with red stripe and inside holes red. Lotta work tho.

Jumping on the bandwagon... white!

Please don't paint them black!

1st choice = silver
2nd choice = super white

No love for gold ?? :(

You already did gold on red about as well as it can be done lol

I dont want to encourage people to just be in your shadow lol thats no aspiration to have

[yPod09]

^^^ HAHA, I was going to say GOLD until I read that. GOOD POINT! Don't think anyone can pull Red and Gold like vten!

Didn't like the wheels much until I saw them in the painted version with the silver lip, but now I think they look GREAT! White would be cool, what about yellow?

aww you guys are too kind :w00t:


Im still debating on white or green on my winter setup .... but those mini wheels on color with the polished lips look great ! it reminds me of the lamborghini diablo wheels .

[CrankyOldMan]

As a matter of fact, the R81 is available OEM in white...

My neighbor just threw these on his probe gt lol

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I'm going to say a deep bronze color, or some type of pearl white. =)

Great suggestions... did I mention these rims are only 11lbs? 5 lighter than steelies!
