That's what I would do too - put snow tires on the 16s and run them in the winter.

thought about it, but i don't have space for an extra set of wheels right now, nor do i have money to be buying 2 different sets of tires.

plus, i don't really think i'd put performance tires on this car just because it isn't real high in the performance bracket in the first place lol..

The look good on your car. I loved them on mine, but the transmission was more of a priority. Glad you like them.

maybe once you get your trans figured out you could get another set, or even a chrome set i think those chrome ones and black montes go real good together.

Blackbeauty, too bad this didn't happen 6 months ago. I knew someone who was looking for a set of 16's. Could only find the odd single rim for sale at the time. Has since gone with a different rim style though.
