Winter tires & rims
Just moved up from S.FLA back into the cold, and brought along my ride - G35 IP coupe with summer tires - obviously - and stock 19" rims (2006 model).
I will soon be looking for winter tires & rims, nothing fancy especially on the rims - but definitely want to keep a clean look. I keep seeing the Hankook Ice Bears being mentionned - so that sounds like a good choice. What about the rims? Should I go for 17" or 18" ? I'm not planning on doing long distance driving - and working at home - so the car will stay in the garage most of the time.
Just curious as to your opinions.
P.S. I'm the guy driving around with the airplane wing on the back of my coupe (veilside)!

You got it backwards.... suposed to be *going* to Fla this time of year
There are a few threads on this topic in the CDN section.
If you don't *have* to get out every day 18s will be fine.
Many good winter tires out there now...
depends on driving needs
- lots of snow
- ice
- lots of highway....etc
