These wheels are of good quality. I could not find anything wrong with them in about 1.5 month of using them. Their finish is good and they run true and nice. I've ordered them from the TR as a set with Blizzaks tires on them, road-force balanced and ready to go. Ride is smooth and confident, though a bit mushy for my liking for cornering in dry conditions, but that is to be expected with softer rubber tires. The TR guys did install very few balancing weights on the wheels, which is an additional indirect indication of high quality of both - wheels and tires. The wheels might not be fanciest available, but as I have previously stated, I care more about performance of winter set than about looks. The taller and narrower tires do handle ice and snow better than wide tires on larger rims.

I put on my winter wheels today (a 19" OEM set). With air suspension, the car must be in a wheel changing mode and I was quite amazed how much the body rose before the wheels eventually lifted and a first I thought that this option didn't work as intended, however, the car did appear to react when toggeling in an out of this option. Does anyone here have a similar experience and an explanation as to why the car goes that high?

Very nice setup you have here, and looks good for the snow.

20x9 wheels
37 offset
66.5mm hub
M14 x 1.5 threaded lug bolts

I just hate driving with All Season tires in Snow Country. Spirited driver and AS tires just don’t give me confidence in snow storms/blizzards.

No problem, just the steering wheel on the wrong side for you.

Luckily for us this was a dealer stock car and we waited 4 days between order and collection!
