Oh yeah my extended family is all in NY, there is no way I could live up east though, winter sucks and the plows are hell on the roads. My father left NY for warmer weather and never looked back

I love those rims though.

Damn those are clean. The color looks really good. The hood vinyl is pretty nice as well.

If these are your winter rims, what do you rally in the summer?

19" with tire, around $2700 ~ $3000

price varies based on the brand of tires.

Not to be rude, Team, but it may be worthwhile having your eyes examined

You're in California so I suppose it's understandable but this really isn't the case with winter tires. Typically, if anything, a skinnier tire will prove to perform better in snow/slush/ice situations. Wider tires have a tendancy to distribute the weight farther apart and *float* on top, rather than digging in.

It's easy to be mean on the internet, some people are just unhappy and this is their way of venting. Don't sweat it bro.

Team has a lot of knowledge and information that would benefit a lot of us but unfortunately he would rather post of up one liners and random insults. It's sad because we could really use his knowledge for the better around here.
