I like the idea, I think it could look quite 'rally'.

Wouldn't look forward to cleaning them every 10 seconds though.

should be ok on black nice contrast.. However remember that the white wheels need to be cleaned a lot. A lot of the mini owners i know who opted for factory white wheels moan as you end up with brake dust staining between the spokes ify you don't wipe it off quick enough.

The white also looks good on the purpley Cupras but there the only two really, maybe on a red one,

True but there are special alloy wheel waxes you can buy which makes brake dust a thing of the past. My bro gave me a can of some mercedes spray and it worked the nutts, makes cleaning soo easy just rinse with cold water and wipe off, looks good as new after

There is one here with white alloys and looks v nice.

I'm getting my alloys refurbed soon and still undecided on the colour. I like the standard look personally so I think they'll be a slight variation on th original, may be some more glossy.

As far as I'm aware Havok, when I got the quote for my car the guy asked me what colour I wanted and I said that I'd let him know. I don't think it's a major issue with cost to them. The price he was quoting was £45 per wheel which I think is around the norm?

Cheers for all your comments guys still not quite sure wot im going to do about the alloy situation may just get the original alloys reconditioned as i do like the standard alloys for now and maby think about changing them in the future for some oz 17 inch rims either super turismos or superleggres!

Not sure about white cupra wheels on black Ibiza but on a red one they look great.
