Firestone SS: Yeah I needed all-season tires. The Pirellis' are completely useless in the snow. I put Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport A/S 275/40/20 on all four. This is my daily driver. I can't say they are that great in the snow either - but definitely better than the P-Zeros. Eventually i'll buy some new wheels and Bridgestone Blizzaks for the snow, and mount them on these wheels.

Nah, just plastidipped them for a month or so to see what it would look like. When it comes time for new tires next I think I'd like to swap for powdercoated wheels as well though. I like the look.

Looks great nice work, and good decision money doesn't grow on tree's.

Yeah i got a guy by me that will powder-coat for $125 per wheel. Includes un-mounting tires, removing any paint, cutting out rim rash with a rim lathe, powder-coating, remounting and re-balancing. So if my paint job doesn't hold up i might spring for the $500 and get them professionally powder-coated. I do love the gloss black look. I think it really matches the car nicely, especially with the tires wet'ted up.
