Default New rims for winter

First two rims arrived this morning. Still waiting for the other two and winter tires. Size is 19x8.5. Will post more pics when mounted later this week.

19 x 8.5 for Winter?! Interesting choice. Why so large?

Nice looking. Didn't know Sparco did wheels. They look like OZ Racing.

Default Will use for summer too

I have an extra set of 19 inch summer tires so I wanted to buy rims that I could fit those on too. Also I like the look of bigger wheels and with them making winter tires in 19 inch sizes now I thought Id give them a try.

Default Thanks

Thanks. I always liked the optional BMW M3 19 inch wheels, which they seem to look like also.

Default I wish :) Im in Toronto, Canada

We dont get as much snow in Toronto as some of the other parts of Canada, but I still order dedicated snow tires, Blizzak LM-25. Roads are kept pretty clean up here, but the winter compound rubber is still important once the temperatures drop.
