215/45/17 Pics wanted...

Does anyone here have pictures of their MINI with 215/45/17 tyres fitted? I'd like to see how they look... i.e. - if they look over-sized as i'm hoping to buy some Goodyear F1's to fit some Bullet alloys

Feel free to post here or e-mail to ewg_uk@ntlworld.com

These are 215/40/17 for comparison. They are 19 lbs each in weight compared to 22 lbs for 45's so saves about 5 kg of unsprung weight........ what? Every little helps right?
