19's would probably have been better, but 20's are not all bad.

Not that bad, in spite of the fact that they are chrome...

My boy Jerry's Cooper S is cooler, here on 18s.


Jerry's car has a ton of performance stuff on it - full Cooper Works blower, head,
clutch, exhaust, has full suspension, and now has StopTech brakes.

Goes like stink, has the full Works Aero kit, and rides like a cement truck.
But it's fun on the track!

Well, you're half-right. Given a Cooper S tuned like that, a cement truck is probably more comfortable.

Why do 18's look so small on a mini? That car is tiny... am I missing something?

Sounds like the Italian Job's Edition

+1 for not that bad at all, unlike 22's on the LS or GS.

Looks way better than the OP roller skate.

I'd take some nice 18 inch BBS LM's if I owned one.
