Winter wheels (I know its only May, but Im not getting screwed by Tireracks again)
~285-300 per wheel
Been looking on hartmann wheels, and I have a few ideas, but I just wanted to see what everybody else thought about a good looking set.
Also, please list appropiate sizes and such, as I dont really understand all those silly numbers.
Many thanks.

I ran 18" with 8mm spacers all winter long

I used 18x8.5 et20 Hartmann B5RS4 reps, they fit perfectly no spacers needed. Tires were 225/45/18

The B5RS4 reps have a better offset.
<center><img src="http://www.kemsf.com/RS4/images/rs4_snow1.jpg"></center><p>B5RS4 = +20 which sits nicely with the fender
RS6 = +30 so its 1 cm inside the fender more then the above wheel.
Here is a pic of mine (in the element)

I ran stock tire sizes, because of where I live
I live in San Francisco which gets no snow, so its a 3 hour drive for me every weekend to lake tahoe. I like the extra width for around town and the highway to the mountains.
With a stock tire size Dunlop Winter Sport M3 the handling was surprisingly good where I live.
And in the snow they handled like a champ.
