Not keen on that at all, it also (strangely) seems to make the wheels look really small, usually it tends to make them look a little bigger (if anything) when lowered? Maybe it's the blue spokes with black rims doing that?

The blue wheels are a bit too much, but otherwise it looks good. I think you're right about the wheels looking smaller because of the black rim, Paul.

The R56 Definately needs 20" Rims by the look of thing's

Those pics look like they are taken In a MINI Showroom......does that mean 'Colour Coded' wheels are going to be an option, in the not too distant future?.....

at least 19", according to those pictures. But anyhow the wheels seems to be painted in the most stupid way, make them look like 15".

H&R one looks relay good those rims on it look like the audi RS4 ones but that blue one defo not a fan the thing with the wheels (the oem ones even works) have got a relay close offset meaning that they never fill the arch properly its only when folk go for bigger 18's like the dare x4 that the arches on the mini fill out proplerly

oooohhh R56 on dare x4's now that would look cool

It's those arches that make the wheels look small! They are way to deep for my tastes.

The new aero kit is bad news. The first one was so good too.
