Second best day of being a Mini owner

Of course the best day by far was picking my MCCS in August of 2008 and 18 months and 29,000 miles later the second best day is I paid it off. I financed for 36 months but doubled up on payments and saved over $400 in additional interest.
Now the dilemma, I'm almost ready for new tires and was also going to get new rims, but now I'm thinking I want to check out the new Countryman when it arrives. I would hate to buy new rims and then buy the Countryman ( I would have to sell the Clubman) and don't believe I would get any extra money for the car because of the rims. I'm thinking get the tires (for sure not those darn run flats this time) and if I don't buy the Countryman then go for the rims, just extra dollars to have the rims switched out and balanced.
Decisions decisions.

I thought the second best day was when you got rid of it -- just like a sailboat!
