I'm thinking way way ahead here but I'm looking into what wheels to get for Bev. When she's painted she will be pink and white and I really wanted white wheels. I have fallen in love with Starmags but they don't do them in white...the only ones I have found that are half decent in white are revos. So do i ditch the idea of having white ones and have the nice wheels, or do I go for the colour that I really want and not have the nicer wheels?

Decisions decision....

Would you go for colour or style? The starmags only come in black or anthracite and I'm not really convinced either of those would look nice with a pink and white car. I know they could be painted but then if they don't look right I've ruined a very expensive set of wheels. Gah, I can't choose between them!

Style I.M.O. You cant paint a turd to make it look better (if that makes any sense). Not everything has to match, you can get superstars in polished alloy i think which might suit your car somewhat better than black or anthracite.

I am a tad bit obsessive about things matching though, if I'm honest. :) I'm not proving good at all these important mini-related decisions lol

Pink and white eh? As far as normal wheels are concerned, it'd probably be best sticking with silver or white minilites.
However, if you fancy something different, create a topic in the digital mini section, give them a pic of the car showing the wheels (side view of car will work best) and tell them what you want, this way you get an idea of how the wheels look and you don't waste any money at all

dont know about 6x10 starmags, but there were 13x7 starmags in white also, there was a guy selling them about a yr ago.
As far as i know Starmags are not available in 12".

In my opinion the best looking white wheels you can get are minilites/ultralites anyway
If your colour scheme gonna be pink/white, what about Superstar wheels?
