S-Lite Wheels on Non-S

1. Do the wheels fit? I'm assuming they do.
2. Anyone have a pic of a non-S with the S Wheels?

they definitely do fit

they'll probably slow the car down a bit, as they are WAY heavier than any MC wheel/tire packages.

They sure look good... but they really are heavy and will slow the car down... something a regular Cooper doesn't need!
BTW... carefull what you pay... should be dirt cheap!

i had a silver 85 cabrio wolfsburg edition 5 spd that was and still is the second most fun car ive ever driven! excellent handling, sounded great, responsive suspension. It's funny that you show a cabrio with wheels like that because back when i had the car 3 years ago, i realized the mini was EXACTLY like the cabrio, but better in EVERY way. love them both.
