The "Gold" Edition / Winter setup

Hey everyone!

Here is my new winter setup:
Custom powder-coated 373M in a gold/copper/red color-mix.

The color changes a bit when in direct sunlight and if seen from different perspectives. I think it machos great with the matt grey.

Tires are OEM sized Michelin winter tires.

Here are the pics and have a save drive through the winter season...

It definitely works much better than I thought it would when I saw the title. I think I'd have to see it in person though.

Not bad bud.
When I saw the title, I thought it should be awful, thought gold rim is only for Japanese cars.
when I saw the picture, your rim works well with the matte grey.

Which tires are you using? I can't seem to find any all-season Michelins on tirerack.com that match your description.

If you get snow, dont bother with all season tires they're not worth it....For a snow set-up:
The front wheel width is 8.5 and the rear is 9.0 in 20's.....You can run the same front size 245/35/20 all around for winter.....The 245's go up to a max recommended width of 9.5, so you will be fine. Pirelli makes an extra load winter tire in 245/35/20 buy 4 and you're golden

I think it looks just ok...a Matte Bronze would have looked better imo....But to each his own.....Different tastes...

Yes, it's a wrap.

And the tires are no all season tires, they are proper winter tires:
Michelin Pilot Alpin
Front 245/35/20
Rear 275/30/20
So they fit on the OEM 20" rims.

No problems with them in winter so far...
