great pics!
i am torn between the Rewinds and the TD Pro Racce 1 or 1.2's.... both are great, both are light, and both are offered in graphite/anthricite....
the Rewinds are a bit cheaper, but maybe i should stay away from them as my wife has ASA JH6's on her MINI (16" rewind cousin)...
Having 2 MINIs with similar rims would just be corny....

While I know you're looking for pix of MCS's with 15's, I just got 15's on my MC. Considering I have HSports, and the brake calipers and rotors are identical between the MC and MCS, I'd say there is no physical difference between seeing an MC or MCS with 15" wheels.

These are Flik Fuels from Edgeracing.com, selling for $79 each right now. I've got 205/50 Falken Azenis 615's on them. The rim is a 15x6.5 and weighs 13 pounds.

pretty sure the Rewinds only come in 15".... maybe 14" too, but not 16 or 17"
the ASA JH6 has a similar look, and comes in 16" and 17" only. Silver or chrome....

We have a set in 16" on my wife's MCS and they look great. I personally prefer wheels like that with a dark (or broze/gold) center. She loves the silver, so - perfect!

Hi Fishbulb, do you have any photos of your wife's mini with the ASA wheels? I'd like the silver with my dark silver MCS.
I considered the darker colors however it sorta makes the entire car darker.
thanks!

To me, the 16" look just right...not too big and not too small. Any idea what the ASA 16's weigh?
I have to admit that I do like the American Racing Silverstone custom offset 15 inch wheels (two piece). Very nice, but probably very expensive.

The wheels are 15X7 _et30_ Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's from OutMotoring.com ($134.95/ea), the tires are 225/50/R15 BFGoodrich G-Force Sports from TireRack.com ($78.00/ea!).
When I recieved these wheels, I though they were et40 and I didn't check (
) before I had them mounted and balance. Turns out they are et30, which is pretty damn aggresive. They look AWESOME, but I did have to trim the fender, and fender liner to make them fit without rubbing... If you order them, make sure you order et40 unless you want a project!They car rides soooo nice, and handles almost as crisply as with the stock 17" runflats. Grip is WAY up and acceleration is markedly improved (tirespin is reduced).
Highly recommend this setup!
