Switched the 214's for 209 with winter tires
It is only when the 214 (20") are not under the car that I realized how big & heavy they are. I took a snapshot of the rear (315) with my son who is a little over 2 years old...

After thorough cleaning, I store them in my basement for next spring.



Merry Christmas !

You need to take the same picture come Spring time and see how much your boy has grown.

Merry Christmas!

I've just switched from the 214s to the 19" 213s. I hope your son grows up quickly to help you carry them up from your basement in the spring. They weigh an absolute ton.

You're right that they are HEAVY! I carried (or rolled or slid) my 214s down to the basement too... I have an alternative exit that I will be using to get out though.

I usually leave rims and tires in storage, it costs ~ $30-40 per season, but I do not have any troubles...

Merry Christmas!!!
