I am considering going down to a 16'' wintrer tire since the cost of 16's vs 17 or even 18's is significantly lower and was wondering if anyone has done this or has any thoughts on going this route.
Just finished doing that, there is a much better selection at more reasonable prices.
I replaced the stock P205/50R17's with some Nordic snows from CTC (P205/55R16's), on some good looking used '07 M5 16" alloy wheels, that I was able to attain at a very reasonable price.
I hate the look of black ghetto steelies, while practical, they are butt fugly !
Some before 'n after pics ( . . . first snow fall in the capital !).
