Paul, if you're refering to the Monzas (left), I'm with you ... too "busy" for my taste. I think that the Daytonas (right), supposedly a no-cost option here in the States, will be my choice:Paul_Mullett said:I'm not sure I like those standard Cooper S wheels.
What do those who have seen them in the flesh (or in photos) think?

The ones on the right are standard issue on the aussie spec Cooper "S", and as I've mentioned somewhere else here i'm with Paul on this one. I like wheels that show the wheel studs. I'd like to fit the ones shown on the Silver Cooper on the John Cooper Works photo. Although I'm not convinced they are 17" as others reckon they are. I first wanted the 17" S spoke wheels, but am now favouring sticking to 16".MINIAC said:

Have you got a picture...or are these the ones shown on the works coopers (of which I am still to be convinced they are 17")DNG said:Not to keen on the Monza's either, I've got the Daytonas on my cooper which I think look great but on the S it has to be the 17inch Lemans, it gives the car a more aggressive look.
I`ve said it before . . . I personally (me, myself) reckon that there is no better wheel for the S - it looks great, it`s perfectly in keeping with the spirit of the car, a kind of Minilite meets the 21st century!KarmanS said:. . . . . . I'd much prefer the 17in lemans rims which I saw at the HK show. I think they look stunning and perfect for the S.
The "LeMans" you refer to, I assume is wheel number 6 on the MINI2 wheel page (thanks for that by the wayJakx said:I`ve said it before . . .

Let`s also put it this way - I`d buy a fifth (spare) wheel to mount, recessed a few centimeters into the wall above the fireplace . . . . and I wouldn`t give any of the other lot house-room!
I like it.
The end.
Nor me - a bit too `plump` looking and wheel trim-like somehow!LMB said:Sorry OnlyS4me....I don't like them at all![]()
