Unhappy My Car Ready for Winter???

So its been relatively warm this week. Decided to take off the BBS' and throw on the winter tires now instead of waiting for snow to fall and having to freeze my ass off changing wheels. Unfortunately, running semi-bald yoko advans isnt an option here in Kanada. Im also not as baller as some of you folks so steelies it is

I was tired afterwards but decided to snap a pic anyways. Trying a new photo technique, but as u can see... its a failed attempt

Funny thing is I actually thought "wow, nice effect" on the photo. What do I know...lol.

Looks good though...you were tired after changing rims? I do that ish in like 10 min...then again, I do have a compressor. I actually like the steel look on your car...tastefully rugged yet refined.

Those steelies are better than most but I'd still rather use my stockies...no matter how terrible the weather gets.

Got these when i got the car. The set of blizzaks run nicely so why change it up. I'll switch over to the stockies for winter when i need new snow tires.

Oh and it was tiring because i basicly used the tools in the trunk to change wheels haha. And i had to lug the other set into the basement. Oh well

doesn't look that bad at all I had those same wheels before on my GTP for winters. I took advantage of the weather also its a lot nicer to change over when its 18 degrees out then below zero

I have to say i like your picture as well, except for the little tree hanging from the mirror. I find that distracting.
