i fit 4 19" rims with tires in mine. 1 in the trunk, put the seats down, 2 stacked on eachother and 1 tilted leaning on the two....it blocked my rearview but it is definitely doable. just make sure to bring some bags to cover the interior!

I'm not sure that one of our rims would fit in the trunk. That thing is incredibly shallow, but if you put down the back seat you might be able to fit 3 back there plus one in the front passengers seat. I'd definitely lay some type of blankets down on your seats though so they don't get all dirty and scratched up.

Or you could just do what my friend does in his Camaro... make 2 trips up to the place with 2 tires in your car each time.

definitely can fit one in the trunk, i fit a 19x9.5 with a 285/35/19 tire on it...but make sure you bring something blankets/trashbags to cover up the seats and sides because they start moving when you are driving.

Maybe a few LONG bungee cords could be interlaced through the rims and hooked onto something to keep them from smashing things up or scraping up against one another.

That sucks, I park mine under post office square and its quite fancy, They have cameras all over the lot and one time I left my window rolled all the way down the whole day... I don't know why maybe I forgot because I was smashed the night before. Nothing was stolen, I have a GPS on my windshield as well.

Plus they have Auto detail shop in the garage that do tints and electronics, I haven't gone to them yet but it's not to shabby

Well, I posted earlier in this thread about waiting untill end of march or beginning of April. However, it was so nice today, I just had to switch back. The summer wheels were just calling my name, so I put them on. Im sure it will snow again once or twice, and I'll be hitch hiking

Yea, I did mine today too. It was a bit refreshing, and I somehow forgot that my car can actually handle well!!

I run summers on my car all year long.
I just don't drive when its snow.
I'm putting my summer wheels on my M beginning of April, I figure its safe once april hits.

Weather report calling for this Friday, I guess we'll see how acurate this is.
