Rota is the way to go man. I got some Torques (gunmetal) for 600-700 bucks from OAKOS and they are pretty cool. Put some LM 25's on it and the car is sick in the snow. I think I drive the car ten times crazier in the winter. I am also very surprised on how good the LM's are in the dry.

Once Christmas comes around, I'll be using the stockers for the winter, and then ordering the Prodrive GC-05F's for the spring/summer/fall.

Tirerack is offering (4) Blizzak LM-25's with ASA JH3 wheels for $1,008.00. Is this a decent deal?

Go for it.

Oh man, I made a double post sorry.

Here is a pic of my winter 18" Rota Torque set in Gold. They're for sale, wheels only.

For a little over $400 you can get a nice looking set of ADR Sokudo 10's off ebay. I think they look great, but i have no idea as to the quality of ADR's wheels. I need a set of winter wheels and if anyone has anything good to say about ADR, these might be my choice.

How quickly do you think I could sell RE070's if I unmounted them for winter and decided to keep my stock rims as winter only?

They will have ~9k miles on them and no track days. I have not measured them, but I would think they are a pretty light 9k miles and have barely touched the sides.

I like those rota's, but I can't have gold on my CGM! They look especially clean at the lug holes, there's only 5 - it says "I belong on this car" instead of "one size fits all."

See pics of reeksti's cgm on golds. Looks great. Besides, it's for winter. When they're dirty they look bronze, which looks awesome on cgm.

Reeks pics look pretty good, especially the gold at dusk. His photos are well done. How many wheels has he gone through!? He must have a tire mounting machine in his garage, along with some curbside pharmaceuticals type of cash flow

Yea, I just can't do gold though, just like I can't wear gold jewlery.
