Hey all,

Well I am all but settled on the new wheels for the mini. Definately going for these wheels but not sure if I want the all black or the black centres with the polished lip.
I was all ready with my credit card to get the all black ones until I saw the polished lip ones...ohh the humanity!

still erring to solid black.

I'd say the polished rim is going to look nicer for longer - the first tiny scrape on your nearside front wheel is going to show up like turd in a swimming pool. The totally black ones look well racey though.
