Not to my taste but each to thier own.

Your problem now is your tyres no longer look black, time to get the tyre dressing out I think.

I really like that. All you have to do is put some silicone on the wheels to shine it up.

Black on black rules!

It'll look cool once all the plastic / rubber bits are black and shiny... not a huge fan of black cars but do like how those alloys have turned out

Thanks guys it does drive so much better than my 2012 standard 116i and have noticed a lot more painted black rims around town. The new Mini would be one of the most with black rims.

Brake dust doesn't show up any more and yes I do need to blacken the tires. when I washed the car I washed of the tire spray.

Go All Blacks.

Or it looks like the wheels are full of brake dust all the time.
With non-blacks, at least they don't have the brake dust look when they are clean! :-)

Looks nice in black. I'm waiting to pick my 118d M sport f20 mineral grey next Wednesday. I'm defiantly wanting to change the chrome grill to black ��
