sorry Stewart, not a fan of you rims!! But then they are on a clubby, so I guess its ok. :)

Not the look I'm going for since I have a 'mainstream' cooper.....would prefer something more traditional but maybe throw in a touch of bling! haha Some chrome 6x12 Supalites would be the ideal solution for me since the advice I have received on going from 12s to 13s.

I had 13" chrome superlights.... brake dust eats them alive!!! you have to clean them after pretty much every journey. got rid of mine after 6 months... most wheel manufacturers/ refurbishers won't chrome wheels anymore, they have chrome paints which are quite clost but not quite the real thing. i tried to get mine rechromed and no one would do it.

Maybe go for the anthracite ones instead then! They will go better with my existing brightwork than the standard silver at least.
