As crazy as it sounds, I don't know what wheels they are.

They remind me of RSX Type S wheels, which I love.

I traded my 189s for them though. They're wrapped in Hankook Ice Bears.

winter wonder machine with teh 287s and extreme summers

Arben72 · 11-07-2013, 11:43 PM

Nothing special, just finished installing heated seats in it. Also putting a pair of oem 270m on my m3.

gary88 · 11-10-2013, 11:39 AM

Bought new Pilot Alpin PA4s to replace my Blizzaks, sitting in the garage waiting to go on the 189s soon which I may plastidip black for winter. Then again I may just leave them since I plan on getting ARC-8s anyway.

///M3NACE · 11-11-2013, 12:26 AM

I need a new set from next year. Any reason why you changed from blizzaks? I had them on a diff BMW and they performed really well but got noisy after two winter seasons.

ashmostro · 11-11-2013, 02:40 AM

I need to mount up a set of 235/45s Michelin xice3's on my 17x9 Arc-8's I just received. The 335is is my DD.

I have the PA4s also, bought last year, thought there were a bit better than the LM 22s.

Yep. Even more rare is the fact that it is 2 owner, 04 STi with 59k miles and has never been modded.

Fillyo75 · 11-11-2013, 03:23 PM

Damn, its snowing and I am still sporting my Michelin Pilot Sports, could be a scary drive home.

ashmostro · 11-11-2013, 03:48 PM

No hard starts or stops. Smooth inputs. Turn on hazards if need be and drive slowly.

I've done a snowstorm in PSS's and survived keeping the above in mind.

Shiny side up my friend.

zivyn · 11-11-2013, 05:17 PM

Glad I put on the snows last weekend, Blizzak on 18" OZ Ultraleggera, will have to find pictures to add to the thread
