Hey everyone, just wanted to show you guys my new winter rims/tires. Got them from "The Sunburst Kid" and am very happy with them.....

The Rims are 16x7 Sport Edition F6
The tires are 215/55r16 Winterforce

Let me know what ya think.... yes i know my car is dirty but i was working all week and only had time to take pics during work cause i have no sunlight by the time i get home.....

 

holy nubby tires they have more meat on them then the one on my truck and there brand new. lol

 

look good. that's what my winter tires look like, a couple people have told me how crazy the tread looks

 

that is some crazy tread but they do look good, i just took off my summer rims and put on the black steelies lol they look so gay. Just another reasin why i hate winter.

 

i have steelies also, and i don't mind them. anyone that knows anything about cars knows why you have steelies on there

 

this is true.. some kid i work with came in today making fun of my car cause i had the black steelies on. i was just thinking in my head you drive a honda with big chrome rims and a huge chrome fart can that will both get all fucked up when the salt trucks come. and today was the first real snow where i live.

 

Thanks for the comments, yes they do have a crazy looking tread..... look almost like rally tires or something..... I was looking online and it says they are 25.3" diameter and my 225/40s are 25.1 but these tires look atleast 1" taller, they spin fairly easily on dry pavement(we havnt gotten that much snow yet....just one snowfall last week.....) but first is way easier to launch and feels abit longer(due to taller tires) and when you get into second, you are more in the powerband it feels....that is if they hook up.... so i am going to go with a taller tire for my summers..... one guy said 245/40r18s fit with no rubbing and i think i am going to try 17x8 with 245/45r17s next summer if i got the money....
I am sure i wont have to many traction probs, even with a 2.6" pulley....

 

road noise?

 

with the windows down, a little howling but I have an loud exhaust and a 12" kicker solobaric that kinda drown out the howling.....
If you really want howling, you should hear my 38.5" super swampers on my truck....

 

i could just imagine

 

typical. i know for me it surprises people when they see steelies and a low rise, and then hear the super

plus, my winter wheels feel SOOOO much better than the summers. the bigger tire totally makes for a much smoother drive.

 

I know, way smoother, bumps are nothing now..... has anyone weighted the stock 18s and tires?? just wondering what they weighted? my 16s tires/rims weight 42lbs....

 

nice dude when are you getting a lift? hahahaha

 

lol....i wonder if the lift on my truck would work on my car....haha
maybe i should just get some LS springs, they will make my car look like a truck....haha sorry guys....

 

haha

 

those are winterforces right? i got the same one.....they are amazing in the snow, look like truck tires lol.

 

haha ya...they do.... how long have you been running them? do they wear pretty fast, anything pos/neg about them???

 

I need some ASAP, it snowed last Monday, and highway sucked. Is there any way I could get a set like your's for under a Grand???

 

www.tirerack.com or anyother website..... I price these out.....and it was like 800-900 shipped to edmonton...... just a hint, look up the chevy HHR they have the same 5x110 bolt pattern and they show 16" rims.....the cobalt ss/sc only show 18s and the ss/na only show 17s..... look for sport edition rims, they usaully go for about $80-100+ each...... then look for some cheap winter tires in 215/55r16, winterforce are fairly cheap theres the dunlop graspic also that arent to bad..... most of the local tire shops in canada sell the 16" steelies and winter tires for about 1100+.....

 

awesome

 

i have winterforces on steelies. cant wait for some snow to try em out. my winter thread:
