<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/TT%20Spiders5.jpg"></center><p>17 X 7 Mille Miglia Spider wheels with 205/50HR17 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-22 tires. I purchased through www.tirerack.com. They arrived within one week (mounted and balanced). No snow in Philadelphia, PA to report on yet.

Default Those are nice wheels! Hope that the winter streets of Philly treat them well! :)
No way that I could use such nice wheels here in northwest NJ. And I too have the LM-22s from Tire Rack, though on steel wheels. Waiting for the snow now! Bring it on I say!
