Burrcold Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) Not bad looking in my opinion for a winter rim. Haven't had any snow yet but these tires are amazing on dry roads (which is exactly what I was looking for). 19" RTX Envy rims on Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice WRT (245/55R19).

Titan01 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 +1 on the look of the wheels, very nice. I arrived home to find my new winters sitting in my driveway. I need to prep the rims with a few coats of Rim Wax and then they will go on. I will update with pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrcold Posted November 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Thanks guys! I was very happy with them, considering winter wheels are on in my region for 5 months of the year I wanted something that I wouldn't cringe at every time I looked at the car lol.

Redwood Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Damn, those look great! And this sealed the deal for me going with gunmetal or a darker color (not black) on my pearl 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this sealed the deal for me going with gunmetal or a darker color (not black) on my pearl 2011.The color is great for staying clean looking in the winter as well. Couldn't be happier with the choice. Edited May 31, 2017 by Burrcold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben senise Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Those look great! I wish i had found something like that when i was looking for winter wheels and tires. i just went with the ford package of wheels that are the standard SE (or SEL?) 18" ones. Oh well. maybe next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contemplated that SE package from Ford but it was around the same price, worse tires for dry driving (which is what I was looking for) and the obvious 18 vs 19 inch.

ben senise Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) ...worse tires for dry driving (which is what I was looking for) i got the michelin alpine sports latitude x-ice which i've always had on every car. grip is awesome and stopping power is too, wet or dry. [edit to add: i thought i had the alpin but i just noticed that i'm mistaken. i've always had the alpin in the past so went with the latitude x-ice this time since that's what was avilable.] Edited December 11, 2017 by ben senise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are good but not what was being offered in the package they had at the time. They were Hankook...not sure what model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2018Sport Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 $2,000 all in (wheels, tires, tire pressure sensors, lugs and lock, mounted/balanced). You got a real good deal, I went there and they only have very ugly 5 star rims and the price is over $2500.00 plus tax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quila Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 I didn't have any luck finding anything decent in the local shops, so I bought mine online at www.wheelwiz.ca and paid about the same price ($2020 CAD all in). Shipping was free, tires were mounted and balanced with TPMS sensors. I put them on myself and used a Bartec Tech 200 tool to clone the original TPMS sensors onto the new wheels. I'm on the west coast and the wheels were delivered just under a week after I ordered them (shipped from Montreal). I have to admit I was a bit hesitant ordering from a relatively new company online, but I was impressed with their service and knowledge. Wheels are 18" Fast Switch titanium finish and tires are Michelin Lattitude X-Ice2. I had Michelins on my previous vehicle and they work very well for the terrain I drive in. Fast Wheels list these wheels as "approved for winter use" which I think just means that there are no surfaces that might corrode with exposure to salt.

MaX83_ZA Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 Wow! The 19s dont look bad at all. I thought they would look strange on a Sport but not at all. I ordered a set of 20s with Conti WinterContact SI from PMCTire for $2370 (fitted on rims, balanced, TPMS, Nitrogen). Going on the car this weekend. Will post pics here if you dont mind sharing your thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2018Sport Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 I got the same tire ( the goodyears ) with a Touren tr9 rims no sensor for $1600 tax in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burrcold Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 I got the same tire ( the goodyears ) with a Touren tr9 rims no sensor for $1600 tax in.18 or 19 inch? They had offered me those as well in a matte black but I didn't like the flat 5 spoke design. The wheels I got took a while to be ordered in but I love that they have some depth (concave design) to them. And the finish nicely matches the Sport in white. I really wanted a winter wheel that I liked this time around since they are on 5-6 months of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
