My winter setup is here: Beyern Mesh + Pilot Alpin PA2
My winter rims and tires arrived today. I didn't like the look of the rims in the tirerack package, so I put my own setup together at a comparable price. The rims are Beyern Mesh. They look better than the Sport Edition wheels IMO.
18x8.5; ET30; 24lbs 18x9.5; ET30; 26lbs Tires are PA2s: 235/40/18 255/40/18; 25.75lbs The rear offset is off by 7mm. I think that'll be fine. If I don't like that, I'll use a 10mm spacer, but I really don't think that'll be an issue with a winter setup. I'll put them on this weekend and post some pics.

Look
No doubt those will look really sharp. Lighter too. Not sure what my A7s weight but they are noticably heavier than my factory 19's
Looking forward to the pics Odd Jobs. |

Great looking wheel. The weights are a bit on the heavy side IMO... But they are beautiful, can't wait to see them on the car.

Looks like this setup will weigh exactly the same as the stock 18" rim + PS2 setup. Not bad for $200 winter rims I'd say. I'll try to post pics on Sunday. I'm hoping they will go with the car--kind of gambled on that one since I haven't see any pics with the wheels mounted on the car myself.

Tirerack says 25.2/26.5 lbs for the A7s (staggered setup). Stock 19" wheels weigh 25.4/26.1 lbs. Stock 18" wheels weigh 25.5/26.5 lbs. So they are all very close, but the PS2s should weigh 1-2 lbs less than snow tires each.

Single piece. The lip has a different finish so it looks like a two piece wheel.
