Ti Silver preferably.. I know it's a weird combo but I might have to live with it for a while if I go M-Tech. Maybe somebody has a winter set up or took pics before they put on rims?

Wow, that doesn't look near as good. But, modding is taken in steps, good luck.

Hmmm. I think you car looks just a tad better with the R10s.

I went with 123s in 18 inch sizes for my winter setup. I guess I am a little more fashion conscious.

I had the OEM 124's before that. Only reason why I went with 17's is because of better pricing in tires and more tire tread. =) I go snowboarding a lot so dont want to mess up anything.

If you are up in ski country a lot then the 17s make sense. Where do you snowboard? I used to ski before my back surgery but now I am not sure I want to test you how the spine "hardware" is working.

Yes. I had the OEM Mtech front and a Hamann Replica Splitter. Now I have the Umnitza M5 Front.

I mainly go up in vermont. Okemo or Stratton. And other Random Vermont Mountains. It depends on conditions too.
Got it. Given that you are going up there, 17s make sense. My mountain (actually mountains) was Killington. From my childhood to my late teens my dad and I had a half-share at a ski house in Killington just off of Roaring Brook Road and we went up there every other weekend to ski. Those were the days. Stratton is a fantastic mountain. I have never made it to Okemo yet.
