18s OEM IP Winters - What you guys think?

I have bought these OEM 18s painted IP with winter tires for a winter, and was just wondering what does everyone think when they see it?

Nice! I can't remember seeing too many pictures of white wheels on the IP. Such a shame the beating those are going to take in the winter...

Looks a little weird, but why 18's for winter tires?

Thats a hot G though, I love the overlays.

Thanks

I was going to buy17s, but after years of unfavorable experience with aftermarket wheels on my prior car, worrying about the brembo fitment issues, and the price (I got these for a decent price), I went with OEM. They will get abused in winter, but not anymore that they already are. In the picture they look mint, but up close they are not so perfect, so I took that into consideration before buying, and I knew it wouldn't bother me. Plus it's winter, I didn't want anything new to worry about. I'm happy. Thanks guys.

I use the 17 OEMs as winter set-up and they do fine. That traction control really works!

They look good on your car. I also picked up a extra set of OEM 18's and went with the Blizzak LM-22.

I thought most people said 18" not recommended for snow.

I would've kept 18" stockers with winters if it was possible.. but I already went ahead and ordered some crappy looking 17's and 17" tires.

Ohhh well..
