I just bought a 2010 Hardtop and it came with the Rotator wheels - I took the vehicle back the following week and the dealer let me do a wheel swap (tire transfer) to the Spooler style, I really prefer them

I had an 07 S Hardtop that I drove for about three years - it had the S-Winders and all-season tires; I really prefer the ride of the 15 inch wheel and the handling off-set is negligible for my around-town needs - plus more side-wall means less curbage potential

We have a set of 15 inch Holies on our 05 Mini. On Friday my wife slid on some ice and hit a curb, blowing out the front tire and badly damaging the rim (also damaged the corner of the front facia and cracked the inner wheel well). Now that I need a new wheel I figure it's time to get new tires too.

I found someone selling a set of 15" Spoolers and tires from an 09 Mini. Would there be any issues running these wheels with TPMs on my car? I'm pretty sure the wheels are the same size and I know the TPMs won't work but they shouldn't cause any problems, right?

If they're runflats then yes it will be a problem. Because when you get a leak, then you won't know. Otherwise the TPMS won't do any harm simply by being there.
