Last season I had a set of 18x8 TSW Spa wheels in black w/General G-Max 245/45 tires. With the square tread profile of the general g-max the 245/45ZR18 looked too narrow. So I put them up for sale and finally sold them a few weeks ago? I ordered some Bremmer Kraft BR09 from Tire rack today. 19x8.5/19x9.5 with BFG g-Force Sport Comp 2 245/40 & 275/35. I like to change things up often so I didn't want to spend top dollar, knowing I will probably sell these at the end of summer for something different..... It's still winter so they won't be going on for a while. So I will continue to roll on the 17" MSW type22 in black with Firestone WinterForce tires. The front wheels were on clearance, the tires were on sale, plus a $50 rebate, so I figured this was the right time to buy.. got a pretty good deal, $1705.00 mounted/balanced w/TPMS sensors installed. I included a pic of the new wheels, last years TSWs and the current MSWs.
Wheels/tires arrived late last week. Once again, Tire Rack provided super fast shipping and a great price. Just wish winter would get out of here so I can bolt them up.... (Another 8"-10" on the way tonight-tomorrow).
Yes I am in MI. What is really dragging this winter out for me is I bought a "new to me" boat back in January......
So YOU'RE the one to blame! Good to know!
Last I heard, the great lakes were 90% frozen over I'm sure that it's less now as it's been warmer.
We got nothing but some wet concrete out of winter storm "Vulcan". We were supposed to see 3 inches. YAY for us.
Wheels should look good!

Yup, I have felt it was my fault for quite some time.............. I think the Great Lakes reached well into the mid 90% for ice coverage, before it warmed up last week. It is going to make for better water levels this year. (if frozen over, no evaporation plus enormous snow falls this year have helped too). However, the water temp in Lake Erie is predicted to be around 58 degrees in July. That is Cold, we are talking major shrinkage cold.......
I'm about 20 miles from Lake MI..they are saying it's going to effect our spring and summer temps(not for the better)because of the extra thaw time. I'm hoping we have a spring.
