I'm dreading this. I've been driving around an i3 for the past year which has pretty chunky tyres, and there's a couple of places on my daily commute where I'm faced with either driving very close to, or up the kerb, or htiting someone's wing mirror simply because they don't move over far enough. There has been at least one occasion where I have rubbed the tyre, which would've been a gouge on these wheels.
I don't think taking them off is the right answer though. You paid for them, there is no sense in my mind in putting them in a box and preserving them for the next owner - what's the point of having them in the first place otherwise?
