    When I see black wheels the first thought that crosses my mind is that the poor sob lost his hub caps and can't afford to replace them. But then again, I'm an old fart.

    I've never been a fan of that Candy Red on your current wheels Nick. I'd go with a red that matches the other red details on your MINI.

    Add and match red calipers and brake rotor top hats and it would look great.

    Black center with red rims. Color match the red on your mirror caps.

    I agree that if you have other red accents on the car, they should all be the same red.
