Just had my winter wheels and tires installed, even though we are having another Indian Summer here in the NYC area - about 64 and mostly sunny today.

Thought I would post some before and after pics for those who may be shopping for winter wheels.

I got the 17" ASA JH3 from Tire Rack, with Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2's. With shipping the package was $1176.

For those in the area, I used Rennwerke to do the install - highly rated by Tire Rack and well deserved. Air gun to take off the old, torque wrnch to put on the new. Insisted on a test drive and doubel checked the pressure before they would give me the car.

Sorry if the pics do not show - this is my first attempt.
