My winter wheels & tires finally arrived from Tire Rack and given the weather I went ahead and had them put on. Went with the new BBS SR wheels 18 X 8 which come in a finish they call Anthracite. The tires are Blizzak WS-70. It's my first winter with RWD and wanted to make sure I can get around as needed.
I got a chuckle when the owner of the independent shop I use came out to tell me that's "the sickest set of winter wheels they've ever installed. BBS wheels for winter?" I had my last two cars for 8.5 and 10 years, so I figured who wants to look at cheap, ugly wheels half the year. |

I love those BBS SR. Maybe I would have picked those up for my winter setup rather than my OZ Superturismos had they been available on tire rack when I purchased.

My first post! I've been reading up a lot over the past few months on the forums, which are an excellent resource. Picked up the car 2 weeks ago; coming from a 2010 GTI which I loved!
Here's a before and after (the after are 225/45 Michelin X-Ice Xi3's on some replica wheels. |

What are your tire specs ? Seems like you're running too low of a profile or is it just an illusion ?
