Good inputs - thanks. I'm not a Blizzack fan and really wanted the Dunlop 3Ds. Since Nokian is not sold by TR there is no way to independently verify how they perform except by postings here on the forums. I know Nokians are highly recommended in the forums and you confirm that. Consumers just rated this tire in this months magazine and it was ranked 2nd behind Conti ExtremeWinterContacts. Interestingly they did not rate it above normal in ice braking (even though the website for Nokian seems to indicate that is what the tire is designed for)

After lots of online research along with recommendations from forum members Reggie and 1Atlas, I'm going to try 18" Nokian Hakkapeliitta R SUV's this winter. They are expensive, but I have a local dealer offering buy 3 get 1 free deals on all tires for a grand reopening promo. My second choice was the Michelin X ice i2, but inventory hasn't ramped up yet. (Plus they're even more expensive!) The Blizzak DM-V1 was choice number three and would have been $200 cheaper than the Hakkas. I'll be getting the tires mounted tomorrow on aftermarket wheels so they'll be ready to be bolted on when the white stuff flies.

Hello,
Just wanted to share some pictures of my new Hartmann 19 inches wheels i received this morning from Achtuning. I ordered the 19x8.5 +38 wheels.
I ordered my wheels about a week ago from achtuning.com. I wasn't able to find a reliable Hartmann distributor in Canada so I bought it in Wash St. even though I live in Montreal.
Wheels costed me 285$ each + about 200$ for shipping. It took about a week from order to receiving the wheels. The whole Achtuning experience has been pretty good, from exchanging emails to the sales guy (SKyler - super service) to the packaging of the wheels. Extremely happy.
Now I need to find good tires that will fit on these for the winter season. I know 19 inches are not ideal for winter but I might keep these wheels also for the next summer season since I like them a lot more than the 20 inches ones I got on the canadian S-Line 2.0T 2012 version (see picture).
That's my story
