Winter / snowboard season is coming.

17" OEM wheel + tire package i picked up from a local member.
Sanded and Plastidipped Anthracite

I am currently enjoying the feel of more tire and less rim. My summer 20's are much much rougher

I think this may push me to go 18 in summer and sell my 20s

Yeah, car drives totally different now. And the M3 control arms in the front help too.

I've now just got to play with them to see what it'll feel like firmer, as they're set at the factory defaults now, and they don't feel super firm.

You mean you were there to switch to winters? Or put tires on rims for you? I've got a jack and garage if next time you want to do them at my place. I need to do two sets a season myself, so just bought the jack and stuff in the end.

I noticed some of the wheel weights had fallen off so I needed them rebalanced. That and I wasnt sure if my original lugs would fit. Add in a touch of lazy and speed syndicate it is. Also tried to sneak in my sway bar swap but no time
