I've got the H Sport springs and have the same situation. I'm not calling it a problem because it makes the Mini handle better than ever. Rotate the tires a little more often and enjoy it

negative camber is generally good for handling - not so good for tire wear. You need to decide what you're trying to achieve. The weight of the rims doesn't have anything to do with it, it's all about the geometry of the suspension.
