I just had these put on my 05 Mini Cooper S. As the other reviewer mentioned, the color goes great with the trim of the car. I've seen other Mini's with much busier wheels but I prefer the simplicity of this style. I put a good coat of wax on them as recommended in the instructions. Ditto about the safety ring holding the center ring in place. Don't bother. Wheels are great and will definately not show the dust and durt as well as will be much easier to clean. Great wheel!

I bought 16" Elbrus i04s with snow tires for my Red BMW 128i. Not only does the black and silver design look great with my red paint, it also makes for a great winter wheel. The black doesn't show brake dust at all so they appear much cleaner than all silver rims, especially valuable in the winter months when you can't wash your wheels as often. Required centering rings were included, but the clips do not stay on...toss the clips and just keep track of the rings when installing and uninstalling.
