I have used them in 15x7" on my MINI with Extreme Summer tires and they were fine.

They are light for an Alloy cast wheel, not super strong but OK for street use. Finish is OK, nothing special, keep them clean is best.

Some past threads on the K1-TS wheel-

Note, tirerack will supply centering rings to use this wheel with your MINI. Usually it is hard plastic which is fine for street use but if you plan to track your car or go to driving school you can ask for metal rings which will resist heat from the brakes. Plastic will melt if you are hard on brakes or live on a steep downhill.
