SO, this car came with the performance package. Brembos, upgraded sways, springs, and tires. Summer tires. 100% DO NOT WORK IN THE SNOW, tires. So my thoughts go something like this:

1. slap some blizzaks on the stock 19s
2. buy some aftermarket wheels and tires for the summer!

question1 - Anyone know how much the stock pirellis sell for usually?
question2 - What wheels and tires should I pick up? Right now I'm looking at something like these:

Gets a 9.5" wide wheel, so we should be able to slap on some wider rubber in the back. This car needs it.

question3 - what tires? Think I should just keep the stock Pirellis up front for the new wheels and then buy some nittos or something for the rear?

Thanks for the input folks!

I'm not sure about the drop, but I like the style of the wheels:

I think with the tints, this car can pull of black wheels... thoughts? Looked over the wheels w/Sarah last night and she too thought she'd prefer black over the polished aluminum.
