Welp, last winter I went with the tirerack steelies, but I always had a hankering for holies. Now that they're on, I absolutely love them. Hopefully I'll be able to squeeze wilwoods under them next winter with some spacers, but for now I'm enjoying the look:




Also, these continental wintercontact ts810's are a better dry weather tire than the blizzak WS-50 by a long shot. Haven't had 'em in snow yet, though.

Edit - tire size is 185/65

 

I put my Holies with 185/65/15 Hakka 2's on this week. I like the look on my MCS too. I believe I can feel a difference in acceleration with them. No snow here either, but I'm ready for some.

 

They look great!

The stock holies are definitely better performing and looking than winter steelies.

Nice pictures. Interesting look- holies and aero side skirt.

I use my holies for general use. (No winter here). Good for comfort and spares damage risk for my other rims for daily use.

I have even used holies for track and performance driving. Any set of R compounds in 205/50-15 will fit and work fine for those on a budget.

 

The holies look great with the aero kit! My first Cooper had the holies...I loved them!

 

Holies rock - the quintessential wheel for the MINI.

 

I can't decide if I like these better than my x-lites. The x-lites will be better for my wilwood kit come springtime, but these holies look so much better, and they're so much easier to clean!

hmmmmm maybe another set is in my future?

Here's another:

They sure are!! They look great with the aero kit

Will the wilwoods work with the holies? When I was looking into getting the jcw brake kit I noticed my holies were incompatible.

 

I'm sure I'll need at least a 5mm spacer for the wilwoods. We shall see...
