Default Sunday Drive - Pics of New Wheels

Drove to my favourite picture spot today, and took some pics of the new wheels. (Vancouver guys will definitely recognize these spots)
They're Kinesis K18R's, with 225/40/18 and 285/30/18 Sumitomo HTRZII.
No front center caps on because I still need to get 7mm spacers for them to fit.
The drive home got a little interesting when it started to snow.














Drive home:









Started to get nervous at this point (wide summer tires + snow = bad news):




Through downtown (for some reason it was dead, even though it was 5:30pm....snow probably scared everyone away):




Made it home safe:




Yes, I know I need to replace those hideous old, cracked stone guards....

Wow! Nice area! It looks like you have the best of both the City and the Twisties!

Jealous!

I went to one of the BBCs last year, and I plan to go to more this year....just that getting up at 5:00am on a Saturday is not an easy thing to do.
