Are 12’s a good compromise between 10’s and 13’s?
Or are 13’s just so bad ass?
I understand the pro’s and cons from an engineering perspective. But, I’m still keen to get a general consensus.

IMO 12" rims are a good bet. The 13" rims, to me, just don't look right on a mini.

That said, the 14’s with 100pcd on 13secmini’s micra powered mini look awesome.

It's your car so your decision. Personally 10 X 5.5.
