Black steelies with MINI center caps
This look is sure to offend some and appeal to others, but I ordered MINI center caps from the dealer to go with my black painted steelies w/Blizzaks from Tire Rack.
Personally, I dig it...but I'm a '70s and '80s BMW fan, when this look was more common. With the driving lights, I think it's a neat and different look. In case you care, P/N for the caps is 36 13 6 767 398. You need four of that number, which cost me about $40.

It doesn't interfere at all with proper installation and torquing of the lug bolts.

Crap - sorry about that. The link still works for me, but I guess it must be because my cookie is still saved at the Tirerack site. They don't list the brand for the wheel, but from the main page, click on the blue "products" tab, select "winter", and then click on the "shop by vehicle" entry in the pop-down menu.
Then, enter the details for your MINI, select '15" packages", and then click on the "Don't need tires? - skip to wheels" link. That will bring you to the page that lists the $44 steel wheel for the MINI.

Ah OK, got it. So I go through all that and it says no steel is available for my car! Oh well.
In the meantime I did find them locally at Discount Tire:

But they don't have Blizzaks so looks like I mix and match between places.

I can't seem to find anything about weight.
But here's an updated link for the center cap:
