Love the look of your mini ...but agree with above you need to get a bit of colour in them now to set things off. Great car! ![=]](https://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/sideways.gif)

this is a good idea! i will give it a go with the spare and see what it looks like. but wont heating the wheel change the properties of the steel/ welds making them brittle and more likely to fail? or do people do this kind of thing all the time and its fine?

My worry with that would be warping / distorting the rims too?

Just to add. becarful with those steel wheels of speed bumps and potholes and you will gradually weaken and bend them. Steel split rims are very weak. Just word of advice 
No putting a downer cause i love the look
