Well I ordered them yesterday and my G/F said they came already! DAMN! That was quick but South Bend IN is only a few hours away so makes since.
I asked her how they looked... Her response was "they look like wheels and tires." LOL
I guess I could have the bead broken and insert the sensors huh?
I think I will go without for now unless it really starts bothering me.

I just got my X-Ice 2's today, $1300(cnd) for tires and install... God 18" winters suck!!
Still worth it if it keeps me out of trouble
Nokian WR $1066 install $US
I got mine!
Here's a pic of them! Really not bad looking and they look VERY snow tirey so people won't think I'm an idiot with a sweet ride and dinky wheels... lol 1066 for tires? I paid 1076 for wheels and tires installed and I will put the wheels on meself! I'm sure the Nokians are nice... But damn!

Those look good - be sure to take some pics of them on the car!
I was wondering if on the stocker 18 wheels (245/45-18) a 225/50 or so would fit as a snow? still trying to find a decent snow tire that 'll fit on the stock rims.

I would like to see some pics of what they look like on it. Looking at getting the same rims myself.
That's the problem! Only two for the 19" and NO WS-60's for the 18" and those are the ones to have from what TR says. We will SEE!
I like them. They have a directional tread pattern which is pretty cool and the tread width is only about a half an inch smaller from my measurements.
TR said to go with a skinny a tire as possible. These wheels are 8" wide and they look fine on them!

Tire rack rated the X-ice 2's just slightly below the WS-60's but he said it was a VERY close 2nd. I just don't buy Michelin tires. It's a personal preference thing...
I think mine are going on tonight! Supposed to be in the 20 or 30's on Sunday... FOR A HIGH! DAMN!
