Where did you get your winter tire/rim setup?
Search is disabled, and there isn't anything as I look back in the most recent posts, so...
Where did everyone get their winter tires/rims from and how much? Tirerack's website wants to put 205/60/16's on my CL, which seems a little crazy.
Thanks!

I bought a set of brand new 2000 TL “take off” Rims from my dealer for 400 bucks.
I’m running 205/60/16 BLIZZAK snow tires that I got from tire rack for about 325 delivered.
So it was just over 700 for the entire setup.
I ran them over the 2000/2001 season, but because of the MILD winter we had this year, I didn’t even have to put them on the car.
Here they are on the "OLD" car.

I got the same setup as Shawn back in the fall of 2000, Blizzak's on 16" TL rims. (Shawn - I used to be called JCTHOMAS on this forum back then).
Anyway, now you have choices - Blizzak didn't come in a 17" tire back then. They now offer a 225/50*17 that will work if you don't want to buy new rims. I don't know why Tirerack doesn't list this size for sale - it exists - try a different website or your local Bridgestone dealer. Even if you do want to buy new rims I'd suggest staying with the 17" rim size, rather than 16".
