Thumbs up White on white on white snow!

It never fails, I go throw on the summer wheels and we are getting 20cm of snow today

Specs are rota grids 18x9.5 with a 265/35/18 tire (Hankook Ventus Evo) on stock GSR suspension.

Personally I am good with the ride height as I drive this car all year around and the car will never see a track. My stock GSR wheels have winter tires on them.

Im really happy with the fitment and I have new Mitsu TPMS sensors in the wheels so no anoying "!" on my cluster.....

The tires completely fill the RA mud flaps and look great!

Clean car. Love the white on white but sucks that it snowed as soon as you put the summer wheels on.

Glad I live in Florida where we never see snow.

that's pure sex slow! I've got an RR and I've been combing for good lookin' white wheels for it and those could look good!

Question.. I've got winters on my stockers right now (with the orig TPMS) and have been looking for solutions to the TPMS problem prior to buying and installing my summer tire/rims and that has been the most prevalent complaint. What is the new TPMS you speak of...

Deanob - can you say, "snowplow"?

Yeah, I dont really have a solution, I bought a new set of 4 TPMS sensors for my summer wheels. When I did more digging the real crap part is that our cars (according to the dealership) will only hold one TPMS code at a time. So what that means is that when I switch back to my winters I will have to go to the dealer and get the TPMS programed again. (even though I have TPMS sensors in both sets of wheels, all mitsu factory sensors).

you know by having those tpms on you are essentially adding more wheel weight on your rims to balance the weight of those TPMS vs rubber or anodized aluminum valve stems.

It looks like you have a bit of positive camber. I would have a local tire shop check it out for you and at least return the camber and toe back to oem specs if they are off.

Ok, so you really didn't *solve* the TPMS issue, u just pay for a reset every season. I'm really hoping NOT to do that (since the closest stealership is 1.5 hours away). Thanks though! Sexy car!
