2 things come to mind.

1) Why?

2) Just because something can be done, doesn't mean it should be done.

You all just wouldn't believe some of the cars I see in my area... If you think 20 inch rims on a Mini is ridiculous, you should have seen the horrible beaten, rusty, faded blue Geo Metro 4 door that I spotted on Norfolk Naval Base several months ago sporting some 24" rims! One rim had to have cost more than a fleet of the damn things!

P.S. Did I mention that rhinestone "24" logos on both sides of it? *puke*

Wouldn't you have to wear a toothguard to prevent chipped teeth everytime you hit a small crack or seam in the pavement.

That's probably as fast as he's ever going to go with those. Makes me feel coddled with my 18s though

20"s and MINI's seem to be a growing trend. http://www.tylerautomax.com/web/1411...er%20Hardtop-S

As for the tooth guards!

Oxybluecoop,

if those are 20's on that black mini, then the wheels on the youtube mini must be
bigger! The youtube mini looks nutts, but the one in your pics looks nice.
