    Default mini wheel?

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/15-mi...QQcmdZViewItem

    15x6.5 most likely, look like panasport,chapparal style. could get some off a mini owner upgrading for dirt cheap.
    mini uses 4x100 38mm offset.
    would just have to change out the center cap for something else.
    what do you guys think?

    Run away. Mini OEM wheels are notoriously heavy.

    yeah the 17" cooper s wheel that is like that one weighs like 25lbs. but i figured 15" couldn't be too bad. but i'm not really interested in a 5.5 inch wide wheel

    I saw a BRG at Hallett that was running a set of off the base mini, with the circles, it looked pretty good. They looked like these, but they weren't white.
