15" wheels

I'm new to this form but I have a question reguarding wheels for my Mini. I do not like the look of most of the wheels that are on vendors that have wheels for Minis. I found these on E bay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SPORT...QQcmdZViewItem
Has any one out there tried them? This will move the tire out 3/8" from the inside and atotal of 1 3/8" out on the outside. Plan on using a 205/50 15 tire.

I like the look! will a 225/50 15 rub? looks like the rear has the room for it.

It will rub like crazy

i have 205/50....it knocked all of my arches off (above). I'm debating going to 195/50 but I definitely need to add some more cambe up front before i can lower it again.

Also, the rears in the above pic are wider....15x8.5 with 205/50's on them. They rub back there too...though camber and some fender trimming helped that.

I say you get those....definitely buy some coilovers, and put some 195/50/15s on there and you will be set with a super hot looking wheel setup.
