Pics of 16" wheels on your MINI?

i've got 17" asa ar2's... i love the look but they're a bit bulky at 22lb per wheel. now i'm considering 16" wheels... to be specific the konig supermesh in bright silver. anyone have a picture of these wheels on their lowered mini, or any 16" wheel in general? 17's are perfect and i'm afraid 16 will be a tad small. thanks for anyone who contributes pix!

Realizing that I don't actually have any pictures of my car on my 16's I ran out to shoot a few photos. Uploading them now.

Yes. Enkei RPF 1's in 16 x 7 with Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 in 205/50-16. Put them on last weekend. Got to take them out for the first real test drive today on twisty road. Very sticky. Very nice feel.

I thought so. They looked just a little more than 50's. They have a nice proportion of sidewall to wheel with the polished lip adding just a little something. And with the R53 they fit the wheel well nicely.
