Does anyone have 19s on their MINI?

If so, can you post some photos please!

I saw one with 19s in Miami and it looked pretty sharp.

Yes, I realize talking about 19s on a MINI might be blasphemy to some.

Do you have an R53 or R56? I personally wouldn't do 19s but ran 18s for a couple of months. IMO 18s just looks right, I've seen pics of MINI's with 19s and they just don't fit the car IMO. they look too big. Check my gallery for pics on 18s.

You would probably need air bags and some serious body work to make 19s look decent on an R56.

just my $0.02

Ah R56... Depending on the 19s, I think it can be pulled off well. BUT, you'd need coilovers for the perfect ride height. Might be better suited with 18s though. I'm sure someone with an R56 and 18s or 19s will chime in soon enough... Good luck
