New wheels for sis's Cooper S

Hi everyone here are some pics of sister's Mini with S spokes and once we'd fitted my Flames. On checking my sisters tyres last week discovered that she had 3 tyres on limit markers and one with 3mm of tread and knowing she couldn't afford to purchase 4 new tyres, decide to fit my wheels as had nearly new tyres on them. I'm gonna keep her S spokes as spare set of wheels for my car will repaint them and may get a set of normal tyres to use as winter wheels also curious to see what will look like on my car?? I think flames make her car look bit different what do you think

Yeah I like flames although I'm biased. I've always wondered what they would look like painted metallic black.

When I was fitting them did think wonder what a set of flames would look like if had them painted black or grey and then had the flat surface polished leaving colour just inside spokes?? I think a set of metallic black flames would look good on your car Nik would that be Astro or Midnight though. I'm sure the black crown spokes on clubman one at Geneva were metallic as they seemed to have some sort of fleck to them

I think it would have to be Astro! I think Astro is a bit more flakey than Midnight and would pop quite nicely!
