I think those Imola seven hole wheels from the Mini are 12lbs a piece, which is over 2 lbs heavier than the 13" VX alloys. So even though the 15" tire might be slightly lihter, one or two pounds, the net effect is even. And the weight on the 15" diameter wheel is distributed further from the hub, increasing its rotational mass effect. All that said, I miht choose the Imolas if I had the choice to make again. -james
