Put on the summer wheels and tires earlier in the week. Stayed with stock sized wheels and tires, but can already tell the difference between the sticky dunlops and the snow tires...especially when braking, and the tires are not even broken in yet.

Nice looking rims, the car looks really good in silver.

About a month out for me, still one more good storm around April 7th I'm waiting for then the summer rims can go on.

My trip today, trying out the new wheels mounted on the skis for crossing roads:

Are you using decals on your caliper? How do those hold up? I am thinking about doing the same.
Yes, I'm using decals - they have only been on for a couple days (but I have had them on past cars and they held up well) - just wish I had used black for the lettering on the back brakes...

Where’d you get the decals for the brake calipers?
