Own a set of aftermarket wheels or are you running different tires? Post pictures by using the format below.

I did a search and didnt find anything that compiles all of our cars with the various wheel setups available, so i created this one.


To keep things clean and informative please post in this format:

  • Brand Wheel with specs
  • Brand Tire with specs
  • If the wheels are custom in any way please specify what made them custom
  • Image from front
  • Image from side
  • Image from rear
  • Image from 3/4 front
  • Image from 3/4 front with wheels fully clocked the direction the car is turned
  • Image from 3/4 rear
  • Optional: Image from front without bumper and splash guards off


Tips for good images:
  1. Take shots at a low angle and from 30-50ft away.
  2. Take pictures in good lighting(i.e. sun to your back, sun over head, in a very well lit garage with enough light to see dark wheels.
  3. use a DSLR with a telephoto if possible, if not try finding a point and shoot.
  4. If you are using an smartphone try to only shoot during the day time.
  5. Most of all, this is for informational purposes only, so dont get crazy and photoshop.

Well step 1 was recognizing that you need winter tires. Unlike some of the geniuses on here that swear that an all season "is fine in the snow."

On my speed, I went an inch smaller and 1 size narrower to have a bit more splash on the sidewalls, for these crappy NJ roads.

Im only talking about those guys that live where it snows. For the others, all seasons are fine.

i'm sure you could run an all season...all season long and be okay, I don't see why not if youre willing to spend the money for good tires..

my problem is I drive 120 miles a day for work, and I need a mid-profile tire or something with enough tread so I can go longer than 20k miles on a set of tires.

damn you guys throw some big money into wheels :p
Yellowfocusstman, they look legit as f*** on your car, very nice. If the 57's were not like double my price range, id take them haha. But i think you made the right choice with these grids.

They look sweet! But yea they will stick out more. Go to willtheyfit.com to see how much more than your current setup. Then measure or make makeshift spacers using washers.
