Show me your alloys

[V8A*ndy]

The wife is wanting to change the alloys on the Cooper S.

Looking for some inspiration....

[NormanD]

I'm just having mine re'ferb'd and painted Body colour

In my case Dark Grey

[si_xsi]

my old one on 18 inch lightweight JCWs with black inserts, bit harsh with run flats but imagine ok without.

Think they look better on darker body colours.

[SLacKer]

I fitted these a while back



Details here

[cento16v]

17" Flame Spokes on mine.

[Hartge231]

My old R53

Rota subzeros

Rota Blitz (painted in Lamborghini Grigio telesto)

Rotiform NUE (painted same Lambo colour)

My FJCW Clubman
Came with MINI R112 alloys

Then put the NUE's on

Now running on very rare (for MINI's) Fifteen52 tarmacs

These are nice and look good with the dark blue

[mini turbo]

I've got OZ Leggenda in 17". Not to everyone's taste

[watchnut]

these are on my Mini...look good with the pepper white black plastic around the arch...hide dust well too!

[Censorious]

Mine came with MINI R112 alloys in 17" and they look great on my black and white Cooper

Not mine, but these are my favourite OE/JCW wheels. JCW R109s

[NormanD]

At last got my wheels back having been sprayed the same as the body colour

OK I know the car is dirty and I haven't put the new centre caps and wheel stud caps on yet

My Mini is the same colour except the roof is black on mine. The colour combo looks good.

I did think of Black wheels as my Jaguar XKR thats the same colour
Then thought on a small car that would be too much black with the wheel skirts etc

Yes I'm pleased with the outcome

[NormanD]

Here is a close up of the wheel with the new centre cap in place as well as the bolt head caps I purchased through eBay

R98 web spokes.

Bit of a pain to clean and expensive to refurb due to being split rims but I like them

Or you could just get the existing wheels painted a different colour. Cheaper than new wheels and it's enough to freshen up the look. I recently had mine painted to match the roof and it looks much better (imo).

I like that.

What sort of cost to have them painted?

In the south east the average seems to be £65 per wheel, so £260 for the set
That would be for a compleat re-furbish

Split rims I expect say £10 each extra

Used to have those on the old one - yes, painful to clean and the lacquer peeled on the split rim.

Current car - Winter 16s on the front, summer 17s on the back. Haven't a clue what the part number references are


s'alright, she doesn't drive it like that - I was half way through swapping them over...
