Hooray for holies!

They are light, look neat, and wrapped in stickies- Toyo Proxes T1-S'. Car drives great!!! Still, I miss the look of my Shuk 17"s. Gonna use these for race tires and snows:

I bet the ride with those 15s is nice and cushy.

I've never been in a MINI whose ride could be described as "cushy."

As for 7-holes...I've really enjoyed having them on my Cooper, both for appearance and for weight. Seems they'll be leaving w/ the arrival of R56, so I may be eyeing some Konig Rewinds for my next MINI.

Looks great - love my holies - just ordered 195/60/15 VR Toyo from Edgeracing - will mount next week. I took test drives in a series of Coopers & MCS before buying my '06 MC, and I'm a believe in light weight, at least for the Cooper. Holies are hot

I wouldnt really say "cushy". Just a little smoother, as I am running 195/55 Toyo Proxes T1-S tires on them with 38psi in the front and 40psi in the rear. These are not going to be my primary wheels- they are for autocross and winter tires. The Shuks just look so darn sexy on this that I have to stick with them!

Oh, I also popped on some black mirror covers- nice contrast? Anyone?
