Exceeded my expectations. Holds up better than any other rattle can wheel paint I know of. When I took them off....only noticed a couple chips around the lug nut area where I think it was me that caused it.

No winter shots, sorry... They came off last month
Simple 17" with Blizak's (cheap rims, great tires)

Chums, I ran those 960s last year on my Audi and loved them, they don't handle aggressive summer driving though so dont push them too hard in the dry. The center blocks lay over and sawtooth way too quickly.

I run RE-11s for a summer tire now.
