Hi guys!
Just looking for some inspiration + technical know-how.
I'm trying to plan (and save!) nice and early for winter, and as my car will become my commuter car now, I don't want to be stranded when the white stuff falls!
I'm currently running the 18" Schumacher wheels, but feel this would be a little impractical for winter.
Therefore I'm looking for a considerably smaller wheels to fit smaller (and hopefully cheaper) premium winter tyres.
I'm swaying to 15" Oz Superturismo's, so the change wont look so drastic when I change them over, so what is the required offset for the wheels? Anything else i need to be conscious of when looking?
What premium (Pirelli/Bridgestone/Michelin etc) winter tyres can you guys recommend?
I'm also open to other alloy wheels, but would prefer a more 'closed' face ie. more spokes, like the Superturismo, rather than showing off my pewny brakes to the world!
Thanks! :worship:
PS. If I use these wheels say, Nov-Mar, then store them, how many months in storage will they last? How many 'cycles' of that will I get out of them?
