Yep - I just had my S-Lites & winter tires swapped out again for my 18" JCWs & summer tires... I am due to (finally!) get my MINI back any day now, and I have decided to take a small leap of faith, because after over 11 months since I last drove it, I want to start off on the right foot.

Hey Boston - snow showers predicted for next week... :-)

Also be careful... borrowing GF's car in bad weather and accidentally bending it can result in loss of GF.

Slap some wax on the inside of those rims and most of the brake dust will wash off. Even if it doesn't it won't stick and eat at your wheels.
I use Prima Wheel Armour.
