Default Ready for winter

Didn't want to have to put a cover on it for the winter. Got some beautiful Forgeline wheels some Bridgestone's and some TPMS from the TPMS website.
Took a couple of hours yesterday mounted everything up and now we're ready to go.

Really happy with the Forgeline's those guys are great to deal with and the wheels are exceptional quality. The TPMS were under $150 for the set of 4 and synced up perfectly.

Looks great. Which model wheel? Stock widths and offsets?

Thanks.

They are stock sized wheels the offset is a little more aggressive but only by a few millimeters, the guys at Forgeline had it all worked out. The rear tires are a bit undersized for the 12 inch wheel but seem to work OK. The 305 bridge stones are a little tight on that 12 inch wheel .
They seem to handle nicely, not much noise and are comfortable to ride on, the grip level is adequate for winter driving. Which unfortunately we are faced with until about mid March.
But that's better than putting the car on the shelf. I do enjoy January drives in the dry cold in our Kentucky foot hills. Wheels are GA1R

Nice! Where did you pick up the TPMS sensors?

Nice going! You are hardcore using Forgelines for your Winter wheels

That's right the TPMS came from the eponymous website. The tires are the only all season they make in the 20 in.

I'll report back after several hundred miles
