Merry Christmas to Me!!!

So my christmas gift came today from my parents! A set of four Enkei wheels

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...100&vid=010597

I am going to put the original summer run flats on these and leave the snow tires on the oem mini wheels.

Those are beautiful! I wanted crown spokes on the Clubman, but they would charge me an extra $350 to swap them out of the sport package. I thought that was cruddy as the wheels in the sport package are the same price.
I've been looking at other wheels to switch to later after Clubby arrives and those wheels would look great. They look a lot like the ones on my 330Ci.

Those are my lifesize Koko gorillas and Joe in the front. No one has ever ridden in the car (Buffy) but them. The trouble is I like riding with the top down for them and it gets a bit cold this time of year. It was 34 on the way home, but I love driving them around. The car is nearly 6 years old with 5600 miles on it as I'm afraid someone will key it. The two times I parked it in a lot it got spit on one time and a door dent the second. And I park way out with nothing near it. So now it only goes to my shop, gets dusted, covered for the day and then home. And only out on nice days. It got caught in the rain one time.
I own a stuffed animal shop (I'm a girl, not a strange guy), but that doesn't pay me. I've been a technical editor for 33 years. Trying to sell the shop so I can stay home and go out driving more. Waiting for the Clubman now.
