Oh man... wish I knew they existed! Out of curiosity, how much were they and where did you find them? I was suggested by my dealer to go with the RWC which aren't that bad looking, but I was more into the OEM wheels. At least, mine are really close to OEM... and cost me 2065$ all included (RWC Wheels + Michelin X-Ice3 + OEM TPMS + Install).

I rather have Ur setup. Mine cost me about the same price with no name brand rims.

anyone notice a change in the intake sounds generator not working or not sounding as loud before swapping winter tires?

bringing up an old Thread as some may have this same situation...Winter Tires shouldn't change the sound generator

what would change since more Winter Wheels and/or Tires are heavier than Summer Wheel/Tires, this would lead to slower acceleration so the sound generator tone would be different


i got rid of mine when i installed the F Sport intake but for those not interested in eliminating the OEM sound generator, hope this helps

They certainly do not need to be staggered. The stock wheels on my '14 350 are 17" not staggered. These are now my Winter wheels, with 225/45 Dunlop Winter Sports. Summer wheels are 18" OZ Ultraleggera with Michelin Super Sports, also not staggered. Less understeer.
