I'm not trying to stir the pot here :-) but since you say you were
happy with the way the rims looked, the cheapskate in me can't help
asking if it wouldn't have been cheaper to just Ebay the Bridgestones
and use the money towards 33x12.50s in the spring? Seems like you're
going to take something of a hit not only on having to buy new rims and
sell your existing ones at a loss, but also future tire changes are
going to slightly more expensive on a 16" rim than they would be for your
15s?
