Winter wheels+Tires installed w/ Pics

Found these on Discount Tire Direct. MB Motoring (who knows) 17's with snow tires for less than $1,000 shipped to my front door. The wheels (despite being quite heavy) actually look okay in the dark bronze color.

For winter tires that helps them stay on the ground, you definitley want more rubber than rim for that season

The tires have a 50 series sidewall so it may make the 17's make a bit smaller than usual. Need a bit more height on the tires for our lovely NY winters here on the right coast.

I see what you mean. Us here in Cali, we just need some good suspension since our roads suck, especially in the SF Bay area. Lots of ghetto potholes.
