They do look good.
Is it common practice to have summer and winter tyres in your region?

Hello, take more pics so we can see them better  :wink: Are they 16" and 205/55/16 or more/less? From this point of view they look great!

Just one question..why did you buy winter tyres now?  8)

In our country almost 90% of drivers have winter & summer tyres.. If you have alloy wheels in the summer, then people usually buy ordinary (steel?) ones for the winter, and then the car looks much uglier, especially because they don't buy that "plastic" thing (don't know how you call it)  :mrgreen:

Nice car btw  :wink: :exclaim:

Hi Eymateapot

yes its really common to change from summers to winter tires....    summer tires looses most the grip from around 7 celsius (44,6 fahrenheit)  and below.  this is because of the rubber mix of the tires.... summer tire rubber become harder in the cold and the traction becomes more poor.

winter tires has a more soft rummer mixture that keep the winter tires more flexible in extreme cold. = better traction.

when the winter tires is used in hot weather they wear down faster cuz of the soft rubber.

hi m8

yes those r 16' 205/55  :) good eyes :P

ill take some pics of the wheel it self :) 

and the reason why i got em now... well i had em for months now lol

my car have just be too damn dirty to show on the net... now its clean  :lol: and rdy to shine on the net once more. :)

yes. u r right about the steel and alloy thing.... that plastic thing is called a : wheel cap or hub i believe :)

anyway... those alloys r also order as steel wheels.. but the provider couldt get em home fast enuff .. in 7days (corp polices ) so they send me som nice alloys lol.. i didt complain about it .. hehehe

Huh that's nice..here you can wait for 2 years and no one will even care.. They'll just say.."they are not here yet, we will call you when they arrive" (but they never do..in fact, sometimes they even sell the part you've been waiting for so long to some other customer and just say that you didn't answer the phone, when they were calling) - that happened to best friend of mine..

I've been looking for exact alloys myself, but can't find them for a reasonable price..  :)

Hey guys

Nice color, especially in this lighting condition! And the rims look awesome too!

Btw, in Finland we have to have (it's the law) winter tires atleast from the beginning of december to the end of february. Usually I (have to) use them from late october or early november to early april. The only reason to use them here is ice and snow, we would be happy to drive with summer tires even in subfreezing temperatures if there was no ice and snow. Only 10-20 % of finnish drivers use studless winter tires, 80-90 % use anti-skid tires with studs. The studs make bad noise so many of us change the winter tires not until we really have to.

Thanks for more pix.. I like your driveway too (tricky to lay I imagine) to do a driveway like that here we would have to use a stencil over concrete... :eek: :wink:
