Got Some Winter Rims/Tires!

Well, i live in Canada with all the Polar Bears and Igloos so i decided it was time to pick-up some Winter Tires/Rims.. I had to downgrade to a 16inch rims instead of the 17's because 17's would have costed over 2000$... Hope you like them !

I agree. Contrary to Houston, you get winter for a large enough time of the year to actually purchase expesive wheels like that and get good use out of them. ****, here... I don't even need winter tires. Good look though man.
