painted factory 20" used for snow

[998M]

Had to put on the snow tires. I use the factory 20" wheels for snow. I had them painted to match the summer wheels. I think they came out pretty good.

did you powdercoat or paint ? looks grey not black ?

id like to see some better pics cause i may be doing the same to mine for the winter

Not as blacked out as it looks. I was taking the picture into the sun. Was in a hurry. Will get better pictures. The wheels were powder coated with a color very similar (slightly darker) than the ferret grey 215 wheels I use for summer.

What winter tire are you running?

Are we allowed to run non-runflat tires?

yeah, you can run non-RFTs but just remember that you dont have a spare tire if you get a flat..

I am running 275 20" Pirellis Scorpion all around. I heard the 275s are hard to come by. You may have to look at Blizzaks.

I have run-flats because I do a lot of driving in the middle of Wisconsin. But I do like the ride of the non-runflat better. I just don't want to be stuck having to wait for a truck to flatbed me to a station. The next problem with be having to over night a tire because no one around here would carry one of these.
