Gents, looking for a 19 inch winter wheel/tire setup. I have come across three viable options all at a similar price of about $4,100-4,300.
Tirerack offers an OZ wheel and a BBS wheel which could work. And Suncoast has the factory 19 inch wheel with a mounted snow tire for the same price as the aftermarket units.
All sizes are similar to factory 19's, which are:
Size: Carrera / Carrera T Front - 8.5 x 19 ET 50 - 235/40 R 19 92V M+S Rear - 11 x 19 ET 77 - 295/35 R 19 100V M+S
Which would you guys select? Less concerned with the aesthetics and more which is of higher quality and best fitment. I believe all three options would be the same Sottozero tire. Sun coast does not list which tire is mounted to their package, but I suspect the Sottozero. Thoughts? (sorry for the image size variance)
No reason not to find a used set of factory wheels and mount 245 and 295 tires, even 20s. OZ wheels are nice, but I rather have factory. Suncoast winters have sottozero or alpins. I actually think there is another one that came on some of the 19s, but I forget.
If you don’t need actual winter tires, I am a huge fan of my Bridgestone all seasons. 245 and 305 20s. About $1100 for the tires so plenty of money for wheels.
I’d really like to see these Bridgestones on your Turbo wheels.

I've been looking for factory wheels. I do want to go down to 19 inch to get a little more rubber. Can only seem to find that wheel at Suncoast. I'm sure the dealer could also supply. An all season might actually work, as opposed to a winter tire.
I am not sure I really want to get a winter set for the 911, since I have Quattro cars to drive in the nasty, dirty winter :-) ...but i do need to keep the battery charged, since where I store the car, i don’t have an outlet for a trickle charger. So, that makes me think of picking up a winter set. And, since i plan to keep this car for a while, it would maybe worth it in the long run.
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?
