Looks fantastic. Good job with pictures!

Would love to get few in high resolution though

Those are some amazing pictures!

Donnington Gray looks like liquid metal. Beautiful color combo.

BrooklynG87 · 01-25-2016, 11:49 AM

tastelid · 01-26-2016, 11:00 AM

This looks so fun! Wish I had a good spot to hoon when it snows.

My fav too!!!! It was the photog talent that MADE that photo!!!

Vassilis1971 · 01-26-2016, 10:30 PM

Wow great pics. Nice job Mike. The set easily rivals your summer shots in quality. Best snow pics hands down.

Beautiful photos and car!

This was the color I was hoping to get but I stuck with the alpine white again

What tire size are you running? I was thinking of getting these same tires as I have the same 20" rims your running but with the summer tires currently on them. But I'm not sure if I should run 315's in the back with 275's in the front or go for an almost squared set up with 295's in the rear. Id like to keep the rear with wider tires but I heard the car handles better in the snow with a square set up since the rears will just travel over the path of the fronts.

Cheers!

Thank you!

This is the OEM 611M 20" Winter set with Pirelli Winter Scorpions on all four wheels, size 285-40-20. Yes, the car will handle better with a square set up. These 611M rears have a built-in offset to allow for the narrower width of the 285 tires in the rear compared to the Summers.

robbys3m3 · 01-27-2016, 02:09 PM

awesome shots!

elisiX · 01-27-2016, 10:52 PM

Photo's and winter wheels are awesome.

New wallpaper, which while a little odd for someone in Sydney where it never snows, but it's too awesome to not use.

sos_73 · 01-28-2016, 07:07 AM

Very nice action shots.
What camera/lens did you use to shoot?
