That doesn't look nearly as bad as I expected it to.

I wonder if the 3" change in wheel diameter causes any speedo/odo errors?

20" is a bit much...18" would be plenty

Same here. I thought it was going to look like the old Stompter toys from my childhood. This actually looks alright. Another 1/2" lower and it might be perfect. Are you sure these are 20 rims? Maybe they are really 19" rims.

it looks ok. looks a bit off, like they're a little too big.
reminds me of a roller skate.

My thoughts exactly. When I saw the title of the thread, my 1st thought was oh, jeez...

Still a little too big for the car. Sometimes less is more and bigger isn't always better.

Even if not as bad as expected, still pretty dumb. Must ruin the car's handling.

yea, me too. I clicked expecting to be really amused by some1s stupid idea ... but all I thought was 'a little big, but not too bad'

Yeah, not as bad as I thought it would look, but I won't say it's good looking either, it's kinda like a short woman wearing oversized earrings ......

1/2" sidewall....

19's would probably have been better, but 20's are not all bad.

Not that bad, in spite of the fact that they are chrome...

My boy Jerry's Cooper S is cooler, here on 18s.

Jerry's car has a ton of performance stuff on it - full Cooper Works blower, head,
clutch, exhaust, has full suspension, and now has StopTech brakes.

Goes like stink, has the full Works Aero kit, and rides like a cement truck.
But it's fun on the track!

Well, you're half-right. Given a Cooper S tuned like that, a cement truck is probably more comfortable. :D

Why do 18's look so small on a mini? That car is tiny... am I missing something?:uh:

As stated, I was expecting myself to go off, but its not that bad. Ridiculous, but not that bad.

Sounds like the Italian Job's Edition:p:thumbup:

+1 for not that bad at all, unlike 22's on the LS or GS.

Looks way better than the OP roller skate.

I'd take some nice 18 inch BBS LM's if I owned one.
