Well the stock tires were bald so I decided to get a dedicated winter setup.

I was going to get some steelies, but couldnt find any for sale. I went with some 15" Sport Edition Rims and Blizzaks from Tire Rack. Cost $600 shipped, but I get a $50 Visa Card, so it wasnt too expensive. TireRack was great: mounted and balanced for free, free lug nuts, and shipped very fast.


Heres a pic.



Let me know what you think.

Im on S-Techs BTW

Looks good, pretty good price for the wheels and tires, my blizzacks are like 600-700 jsut tires mounting on stock wheels.

Hi:
I like the look. I think you will notice a much improved driving experience in the cold and especially in slush and snow. I know I did last year with my Mazda 3 on Dunlop M3's.
I have a set of Dunlop Wintersport 3D's mounted on 16" MSW 5 star alloy wheels that I just bought at Tire rack for my wife's super white tC. I got the 205-55/16 size.
