The wheels look really good. I probably should have bought the orange ones that someone from Craigslist was selling for $500 last year. I wouldn't have minded orange clown wheels for a summer setup.

I debated on the red ones, but I think white will look much better.

It is called being cheap.

Maybe clueless. I spent $200 on snow tires and wheels. Alleggeritas with Blizzaks cost $1800.

I hear ya Dar... but how would the tire size you're saying be on the 2012 Si stock rims? How would it look? Would I have to flare the fenders to make it appear normal? If anyone here is running a wide tire i'd love to see some pictures if possible. Thanks Dar and to anyone who answers this.The setup is just wider tires/wheels for an improvement in acceleration/braking/handling. It really just depends on the wheel offset for the setup to stick out. I still am planning on getting Michelin Super Sports in 245/40/17 with 17x8 light weight wheels. I still have a lot of time to think about the offset or even the wheel brand (Enkei GTC01 is my top choice right now) since I will be making a purchase by the end of April or May.
This is what the Super Sports look like on a 17x8 OZ Racing Alleggerita.

245/40/17 tires will be too wide for the stock wheels. 235/40/17 tires will fit 7" wide wheels, but that is pushing it.
Didn't @death_roll have/has PSS's?
He had RE-11A's. Same as I. Mine rubbed in a 225 width on a stock size wheel and offset: on the passenger side rear fender only though. The extreme category tires run very wide. Almost a full size.

I still need to buy my wheels. I will hold off as long as possible before I do that in case they go on sale...or if I change my mind about white.
Sucks you can't use them yet... because winter.

Yeah, but it gives me a bit more time to save up some money for wheels as opposed to depleting my back account.Sucks you can't use them yet... because winter.

Hey Squig... you like those tires? You get a good deal? If you don't mind saying... how much were they? Enjoy your day and speak soon.

Tires won't be installed for a few more months. Got them from CostCo for $700 because of a sale. Includes installation, lifetime rotations, repairs, TPMS programming, and nitrogen.

Congrats Squig! I'm happy for you bud and am awaiting for your review.
Wow that's a deal! Nice.
What do you think of those dunlop snow tires? I think they were a lot better than the new contis I got this year.
