Makes the car look much tougher IMO, and will be more practical off road and/or during your winter (snow). Might have to consider something similar for mine, as I do a combination of off-road / highway driving in my area - about 40/60 and the low profile tyres with highway pattern on the OEM 19" rims don't like gravel or mud all that much. Need something with better traction and not sure if I'll find anything low profile to suit.
