Hollies for the winter, and beyond?

I have traded my 17" s-heavies with Avon tech 550 tires for my sister's 15" hollies with nearly bald and cracked stock contis.

Anyway, I put my set of Nokian WRg2's on them. I forgot how good these 15" rims are, I've had them on before. There's, erm, a shot of them in my gallery...

They are so light. I'm really enjoying them, also glad I got my hands on a set - it seems they are getting rare.

Come next spring, I might take my Nokian V's off my steel rims and put them on these. The hollies would own with a sticky summer tire. But then again, I do love the steel rims...

I just wanted to tout the awesome hollies.

I'd have to concur 100% - they are my personal favorite oem Mini wheel.
My style choices have been called dated before and I can deal with that .

These however are like Cragar SS's to me - timeless

Yep...they're going on the MINI two weeks from today

I kinda like transitioning to the "classic" look for the winter motoring months.

Hollies give you-

That "stealthy" look for the mid modded MCS.
Good selection of street tire sizes in 50,55,60, or 65 series sidewalls.
The lightest weight OEM MINI wheel
A fairly inexpensive and easy to find wheel (not for JCW brakes)
Selection of both silver and white finish
Classic gen 1 MINI appearance for any season.

I run 85% or more of the time on Hollies.
