Hi all:

Does any MCS owners from Montreal or Toronto interest to exchnage your R83 5-star 16" wheels with my 2005 17" x 7" Alloy wheels (From Sport package)? My 17" wheels are brand new, only use it for less than 1000 KM...

If anyone interest, let me know.
Thanks a lot

I thought about doing this too. But after I had the car for a few thousand KMs (3500 or so), the tires softened up a bit and were quite acceptable (not as harsh). I also felt the wheels looked rather nice. They are a bit heavy, I guess. But quite good for something that comes out of the factory this way.

I've decided to keep mine and get snow tires in the fall. The dealership sometimes has a snowtire special on. Last year, the dealership in Vancouver had Snowtires on steel rims for $900CDN or on 16" alloys for $1100. A pretty good deal. But he told me I should order them by early October as he usually sells out of them.
