I like em! Not sure what color your MINI is, but the design is cool. I would go with at least 17's. IMO, the 5 spoke design only looks good when it elongates the look of the rim. 15 and 16's would be too short. Does that make sense?

Of course, that's only my opinion. Here are some others that you might be interested in as well:

i ordered a lightning blue, black roof, mirrors, and c-pillars clubman (non S). i got the stock 15 inch rims, almost got the factory 5 spoke rims 16 inch, but thought i would just get aftermarket rims when it came in.

i know what you mean by elongation with the 5 spoke rims. i have been looking at these 16 inch rims

my new wheels

Also in my gallery... I think - jeez, I have a hideous time uploading pix...
oops - won't let me - already uploaded on the new wheel forum.
They're Konig Again4's, 16" with Falken Ziex912's - rides MUCH smoother, quieter than runflats...

16" s wheels and tires match non-clubman cars?

a friend of mine just got a 2008 clubman s with the 16" wheels and tires.

i've searched, but couldn't easly find out whether this wheel and tire combination is also a stock size on the non-clubman 2008 cars.

thanks,
head only into modded R53,
