Winter's not far off now . -Kurt -Kurt "I'm a little sceptical of that internet thing. After all, what's it got besides information?" -DB, 1/97

I'd like to leave the KDWs on the OE 16"s and get a whole addition set of wheels for the snows. -Kurt -Kurt "I'm a little sceptical of that internet thing.

My car came with a set of 16" Blizzaks unmounted, so I was stuck. Buy a alloy you love for summer, and use the stockers for winter. You can pillage an enemy once, but a customer is an endless resource.
