I have been searching for new wheels and tires for the Clubman.  Every day I drive around on these Continental all-season tires thinking…”these thing are going to be bald by the time Winter gets here”.  I day dream of getting some new rims and putting come phat Summer rubber on them.  Storing the all-seasons away for Winter.

Some options I have:

• buy new all-seasons before Winter [$1000]
• buy a set of snow tires and mount them on my old Black S-lights from my ’06 [$1000]
• buy some Summer tires and save the all-seasons for Winter [$1000]
• buy some new rims and Summer tires, then sell the Crown Spokes and put the all-seasons on the black s-lights for Winter. [$1600-$500=$1100]
• buy some new rims and Summer tires, then sell the S-Lights and save the crown spokes and all-seasons for Winter. [$1600-$400=$1200]

OR:  Steal these rims and Summer tires from a guy on Craigslist today for $1000.  Sell the Crown Spokes for $500. Keep the Black S-Lights with the all-seasons for Winter.  Netting two near new sets of rims and tires for $500 out of pocket.  AWESOME!

This was a great deal.  The wheels and tires I purchased recently sold on NAM for $1800.  Yes folks, Craiglist is your friend.  They were posted on June 9th, and I called him today, still had them…WTF?  I ran to the bank and ran over to his house.
