I should have gone with beefier winter tires. Oh well, I'm doing alright so far.

I think it looks good. yeah, there is a lot of rubber, but they fill the wheel arches nicely. Rims are simple, but clean. Also easy to wash in the winter.
I prefer that look over using the OEM 17" wheels.
Nice choice for "winter mode". And of course winter mode is winter driving!

Can you please provide the wheel brand and size/offset so I can include these in the Wheel Directory?
