Someone please correct me if wrong, but the wheel in the picture has a 5 lug pattern that wouldn't be compatible with the MINI's 4 lug.

However if they are compatible with the MINI, do you have any more specs on the wheels?

IMO, they are a good looking set of wheels, but it would be nice to know the width and offset because 18'' wheels are more prone to rubbing...

And of course they will most likely offer a slightly harsher ride compared to a smaller wheel with more tire sidewall cushioning, but there are countless threads related to that...

As long as the bolt pattern is 4-100, they will fit with no problems.
