AS the title .

Post pictures of your car with winter wheels fitted to it.

I did mine today , got a snap with the summer on the front and the winter on the back.

My volkswagen tyrebag managed to squeeze into the shot too :)

got a set of spare alloys off e-bay and got them powder coated to suit. Had them on the last 2 winters now and not a mark yet.....
Had to go away from the staggered and get 225 all round, but this works better for the winter.
 
Here is what the C63 is wearing now :D...on the refurbished 19" original wheels...

Accelera X Grip on R2-So far very good even in dry and damp conditions. Need some snow:)

Slightly OT , but that car looks great with the red leather interior ! :rock:
 
Given that it was 15 degrees when I set off for work this morning, mine are staying in the garage for a while yet!
 
haha yeah but then with airscarf & heated seats if it's a moderate temperature dry day then the roof can come down for a bit! Don't intend on using it much for the next few months though.
 
Finally the 17" winter wheels arrived and were fitted.
Surprisingly my 18" summer wheel/tyres measure just over 19.5" rim to rim and the 17"'s measure 18.5 rim to rim so they still look nice and big and I think they actually suit the coupe. I understand the way they official measure the wheel is by the inner rim.
There is plenty of rim protection on the winter tyres, bring on the ice and snow!

I might have a BBQ tomorrow if it stays dry
 
Hi Guys,
New to site. Need new tyres for my C32. Trying Coopers as the price is right and need to slow down in winter. Will put new Michelin`s on for summer as the lake district has some fun driving roads.
