I have a set of 4 Avon safety wheels that came with a mini I bought, I would like to see if any one has some photo's of a mini with them fitted, to see what they look like.

Also had a little experiment when painting them, any opinions welcome, my mini is white with a red roof and I thought it would be good to have some more red on display, wife and kids like black and silver best but I'm not totally convinced, I could strip off the black and go silver and red.

I quite like the red and black, pretty cool and a bit different

Thanks for the wikipedia info, I will have to bear that in mind if or when get tyres fitted, did make me wonder what the inner band was for.

I think the silver and black looks great myself, accentuates the unique design further but retains a classy look in comparison to the red.

I think black and red with the lip polished would look great ;)
I had a parts car here for a few weeks with them wheels but dont think i got pics with them wheels on it. (Didnt look the best even without them :L)


Edit : i looked through the photos didnt have any of them fitted sorry
