I’m still debating this.  Trust me, you’re not as sick of this as I am.  This post is mainly a chance for me to dump my thoughts and clear my mind. Sorry. You can skip right past it.

• Take the wheels back to the junk yard.
  • Deal with the scary, gruff men working there in their Carhartts and swearing loudly across the customer-filled office.
  • Pay a $43 restocking fee just to have them take the wheels back.
  • Get the rest of my money refunded as Yard Credit that can only be spent with them.
  • Hope they have a set of 16" wheels that will fit.
  • Pay for those 16" wheels, if they have them, with the yard credit, as well as the extra cost out of my pocket, which will surely be well over $100.
  • Buy four 16" snow tires to put on these new wheels and accept the fact that four 16" snows will cost me $130 more than four 15" snows would have cost me.
  • When all is said and done, this mistake will have cost me nearly $400, plus the cost of tires (~$400), bringing me to a grand total of nearly $800 just for some freaking snow tires.
• Grind my front brake calipers
  • Keep the wheels I bought.
  • Keep the $20 grinder I bought.
  • Spend a couple hours grinding down the metal on the calipers.
  • Buy four 15" snow tires and have them mounted on the Forester wheels.
  • Be happy for 4 months until I have to spend another $500 on decent summer tires in April.
• Craigslist
  • Try to sell these 15" Forester wheels on Craigslist to recoup at least some of my money.  If I could get $100-$150 for them, it’d be cash in my pocket rather than credit to a junk yard.
  • Buy 16" snows to have mounted on my existing wheels.
  • Spend the next several months searching for used 16" wheels on craigslist.
