Disadvantages of running 15's?
when I demo'd 2 MCS's one w/16 and one w/17 I really noticed a difference, ride, handling wise so my new baby that's coming in this week will have the 16" x-spoke (lightest OEM MCS wheels.) :smile:
But yeah I'll consider 15s if I can find decent wheels. Everything is cheaper to run, and from what others say (inc a buddy that runs track with 15"s) the car runs and behaves less-heavy-handed, more nimble, quicker.
And IMO like a classic MINI the car looks better with smaller wheels, it actually looks bigger. With 17s and 18s
it looks tiny, proportion-wise. J

What a concept, but I think you have to have Honda steel wheels for those. A QUOTE fron their page.
"For a better installation: recommend to use a long flat screwdriver or tool to press in the out coming retention legs"
