ive seen a MINI with 20s on it and ridden in one... it actually wasnt bad...
(well other than the fact the specific wheels were UGLY!!!)

i love the look of 18s on my MINIs... but thats me
find a wheel you LOVE and go from there
GOOD LUCK!!!

oh and welcome to NAM and the obsessive world of MINI:smile:

 

If you want the 20s, get the 20s. I saw two Caprice Classic with 24s, it was lifted and had running boards. That was ugly to me but the owners must have liked it.

 

haha thanks a lot guys. I'll definetely have to wait until I have the car first and then see...

Anyways, even though a lot of you don't like it, I still find it quite original and attention grabbing so I'm not going to forget about the idea.

Now one more question. Is it really worth it to get the S? Because it's definetely going to be a lot of convincing my parents about it. They're not dumb and know it's way too much HP for a first car...

Thanks to everyone who replied and those welcomings! I hope I get lots more answers and participate in the forum...

 

Hmm. Might be a bit to big but maybe those 36" tires on the Hummers?

 

i have 18" evo5 on my mcs......215/35/18 tires and to me it doesnt feel any different than the 17" stocks............i know the 15 and 16" you do feel the difference in performance since the wheel is much lighter......17's and 18's aint much difference...after all i dont race or rough up my car......but one thing i know bigger wheels do put a little stress on your tranny.......

 

It's absolutely worth it, but not for someone your age. If you were my kid, I would be perfectly fine with you driving a small car, but I would want to limit your access to horsepower. If you get a Cooper, you get all the handling fun of an MCS, but with a larger margin of error (which I guarantee you will come in handy).
