Those would look great on your car.

Just one note for you you will have a change in the accuracy of you speedometer of about 1.9% as the size difference will be from 24.6" diameter (average OEM standard) to 25.1" Diameter.
Which will actually make the speedo slightly more accurate.

Nice wheels!

Is it just me or do the tires seem big for 18s on a MINI? I'm thinking they might rub the wheel wells a bit.

I've been eyeing these very same wheels - would love to see how they look on your car! I was worried they would be a little too wide, but it sounds like that might not be an issue.
