Ok new (old) wheels will be being refurbished  in a sold colour.

do I go gold again or add a new colour? 
they will have wet tyres on them and will be rarely used.

they are Minilite style 8 spoke

Red? Silver? Gold….. Black!

 

thoughts.

I like a black wheel but might look to much black on the car,any thoughts on a charcoal colour. Otherwise I would go with the gold again

[jonlad]

a vote here for silver.

 

I just love a silver minilite 

[Aaran13]

I do like the gold but a left field suggestion, blue with the silver the rim. I’m thinking along the lines of the anodised blue colour of the retro sport items. Might match the A-panels…

If gold, I'd go with a brighter Candy Apple Gold, but how about red to match the seat and sun strip?

What about Bronze? Although I have always like gold, in fact my first mini was black with gold superlites!

[Chris1275gt]

My vote is the dull gold,1275gt go faster stripe gold, it doesn’t shout at you and looks classy in an understated way, and I don’t know what the wheels look like but a a bit of black gloss with it would pull it all together.

Pageant blue centres would pop Nick

Pink would go well with the abs stickers and tow strap. Thats assuming they are pink? They look pink in the picture.

Red if those said bits are red.

Interesting comments. 
 

the car has much less red on it now.

 

the wheels as they are now. Will be blasted the painted/powder coated one solid colour.

did have a black Mini on the road with red 6x10 in hamerite Red back in the day.

 

those tyres will not be on.
