1. Picture of style 177 attached.
2. I have run flats on my 20" summer tires as I have 3rd row. No, you don't have to get run flats for your 18" snow tires --- I'm choosing to though as I do not have a spare tire...

thanks. so we are all sure that the pic you posted is definitely for style 177?

i also agree, if you have 3rd row, then run flats are important... if not (which i don't), then there should be a spare and i can get regular snow tires.

does anyone know how much style 177 wheels should cost? what's dealer cost?

marc - we're in the same boat, I am looking around the Boston area for the best deal. My local dealer (Wagner) quoted me full price for the set with run flats, wheels and pressure senders - $753 per wheel, or just over $3K - no discount.

Anyway, I am working on doing better, if I find something I'll let you know, do me a favor and do the same if you come up with anything.

Cheers,
KEF
