Nice set up, don't forget to post pictures
Also, if that's your winter set up, what is your summer?

Realtyman,
I am curious as to how yours and mine works out this Winter. I also got the 18" Pilot Alpins , (Tire rack backordered on Dunlop M3 at time of order). I going to put them on the Stock sport wheels.
And I think Slvr530i was curious at to what your SUMMER setup WILL BE since you have these for winter.

Oops, read the Slvr530i post too quickly.
If I really like the look of the new wheels, I may keep them for summer and put the snows on the stock wheels (hesitation, however, as the RK did not come wider than 8.5" and the 275 Rear will not fit on it).
We'll see what summer brings.

BTW, very impressed with the site and all its members. It 's a reflection of the car we all love, spirited (occasionally nasty if need be!) yet civilized.
