I’d like to stay with a darker paint finish and stick with a factory wheel, and maybe get something different than the standard T... either the black Carrera S set or the Sport wheels.

...i just wish you could get these Sport wheels with winter rubber. Ideas?

I believe the wheels Suncoast features can be ordered through dealer parts as well. You should be able to get that wheel, and put a snow tire on it. They make a couple snows in the 20 inch sizing.
If the dealer or Suncoast won't sell it as a winter package, try to just get the wheel and source the tire somewhere else.

Suncoast now has the winter sets on sale - I bit on the 19” set. Long term investment, i figure https://www.suncoastparts.com/category/POXXTE992.html

The sport wheels on the GT Silver 911 is just the bomb. Maybe call Suncoast and they will do a winter package with the Sport Wheel.

Yeah, I hear you. Like this picture below? :-)

As some folks are saying on the other active (All Season) thread... i am not really planning to go into snow in the winter, so i just need a All Season tire that works in cooler temps vs a squishy snow tire.

But, the only performance AS that tire rack shows is the Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS. Anyone know that tire?
