Andy, would be Pro Race in White for me. Bet they would be a b1tch to keep clean though...

Imola always looks brilliant, but I bet the white would stand out better. This coming from the girl obsessed with black wheels... Would the white wheels be a whole lot of hassle though?

I had black pro race on my last mini looked great when clean but always got dirty quick I think white would be the same if not worse but keep thinking it would look good. The graphite grey lemans I have in store just now so may put against mini when bak at work

White Pro races would look cool.

Wax will prevent brake dust from sticking and keep them cleaner for longer, I'd keep your current alloys and stick winter tyres on them and keep them for the winter.

This maybe the plan exactly what I have done with my previous MINIs ;)

Decisions - Decisions... :confused: ...I quite like what's on your countryman at the moment but here's a photoshop of the White Pro Races and the Silver... :yes nod:

I like the White... :thumbs up: ... But wouldn't like to keep them clean...

As for the Lemans Graphite... Not too sure on them... Doesn't really do anything for the Countryman as you've said... :frown:

This will give you a slight idea of what it might look like... :yes nod: ... Hope this Helps Andy...

Arrrhhh had the 18" prorace ordered in white then I come in to work today and emailed them to cancel and replace with 19" lemans but still not 100% sure have done the right thing. If only more people changed the wheels on a countryman to give me ideas but looking online there is not alot of them out there with aftermarket wheels

Glad to see you've made your decision Andy and not an easy one to make as the choice online for wheels is vast... :thumbs up: ...

Just hope that I didn't make it harder for yourself with Photoshop, but the main thing is, it's what you like that matters the most... :yes nod: ... Looking forward to seeing them on... :thumbs up:
