Honda Fit HFP for Mini Cooper? TPMS?

Does anyone know if Honda Fit HFP wheels would fit on 2010 Cooper?
What about the TPMS? Can they be transferred to these wheels?

I don't see why they wouldn't be compatible. What is the offset? As far as the TPMS, again I don't see why they wouldn't work.

My brother has an '07 Fit and we put on one of my 15" hollies on it just to see. It seemed to fit perfectly, since the center bore and bolt pattern is the same on most small Honda and the 1st gen MINIs. I mean, my steel rims were intended for an '03 Civic. We didn't put the whole set on though, so no idea about rubbing.

From Googling...

The Honda HFP is 16x6.5, ET 55.
MINI OEM 16" wheels are 16x6.5, ET 48.

They may fit or not, but wheels that far in might not look the best on the car. 5mm spacers would make the fitment close to OEM and poke the wheels out a bit more.

Despite my fondness in those HFP wheels, they are heavier than my current 15 inch 6 spoke stock wheels, by 3 pounds each. I don't want to sacrifice acceleration as an expense. I should just stick to the skinny MINI stock rims. Thanks for all of you spending time researching and replying my post. Really appreciate the efforts.
