I probably will considering the fact that they will only cost me about 180$ for all four wheels.... but will 15" wheels look to small on the cooper?

after you order those you just pick out the discs that you want to cover the ugly hole, and it looks as if they could have a nice dish....

Not if you get the right tires....if you get 205/50's for your 15s they will look like a pretty good size. I love the 15s for their classic look. here are my 15s with 205/50/15s
i say go for it....the old school look is awesome
