I almost can't take it anymore. I already have one of my 166 rims in my rec room just so I can stare at it while jamming away at Xbox. Today the weather is 65 almost 70 for Chicago and I'm getting hit by major Spring fever.
You think its premature to sport the Summer wheels and have them mounted or should I wait another month ?!?! ARGH!!!!!!

I'd hold out If I were you, or you may find yourself w/o a ride or having to leave your car somewhere one day if you get caught in a storm.
I have two vehicles, one summer and one snow, so my 166's stay on year round.

If you have lived here long enough, you know we usually get a major snow storm late in the season. Unless you want to get caught going nowhere with Summer shoes on, I would wait.

What % tints are on your car, IceyTys?
Personally I wish it was a bit darker, around the 20% mark, however its significantly more expensive to change the tint on a car thats already tinted, then one that has no tint at all, from what I understand. Which is why I havent changed it already.
I like 20% because its not too dark from the inside, but it gets you that dark look on the outside.

You have to wait. Don't be fooled by the temporary temperate climate you are experiencing.
Snow is in your future in Chicagoland:
