I'll be throwing on my 18X8.5 VMR V701 with 245/40/18 Dunlop SP Wintersport 3D wheels and tires soon.

Getting cold up here in NH

Just a couple of weeks, got the idea from another forum member "CharlieG". I am curious to see how the "free flow" tiles will do with snow and ice, in theory they should keep the floor under the car dry!

I gave some serious thought to the free flow tiles but decided to go with the solid ones ... so far they seem to do very well even with a wet car on them. We even had some snow the other day and it wasn't bad and the tiles dried up quickly. I thought it would be tough to clean all the stuff that fell through the open tiles (sand, pieces of leaves, etc.). Yesterday I took my shop vac, reversed the hose and blew all the crap right out of the garage. It was easier than trying to vacuum the entire floor. I guess with the open tiles, you can wait longer between cleanings as you won't see much if anything on the surface.

Let us know how things go this winter.

Looks good!
Get yourself Audi center hub caps on ebay. I got 4 for 9.99 shipped

Good set up - I was looking at the same one before pulling a trigger, but ended up getting Michellin Pilot Alpin with RS replica wheels by RTX.
