Look what I picked up for the winter

Been looking for winter wheel package for a few months now.

Tirerack prices was way up there.
I didnt want to use my stock wheels either

Picked these up for 500 bucks. Had to drive about 1.5 hours to pick them up and stuffed all 4 of them in my backseat.

paid 500 bucks
Seller had them on his 04 TL. Only problem is it does not have TPMS.

I might just deal without them since im only using them for the winter.
they're 215/55/16

The sidewall is 10mm too big. Looks goofy.

yeah it does look a bit goofy but my priority is not to get stuck in the snow. Especially with the amount of snow PA receives.

plus i wanted more "meat " on the wheel as Ive read its recommend for a winter setup.

I did Ok last year with my DWS's but over here snow isnt plowed right away and getting to the park ride is an adventure in itself with ICE and SNow at 6am.

and the tires are Blizzaks btw

No TPMS means you won't be able to defeat Traction Control FYI, not to mention the annoying warning light.

Hopefully OP has an AT and not a 6 SP. I do not believe the 16" rims will clear the Brembos on the MT TL.
