I love the xice2s they work great in snow, not to mention its a lot quieter than the stock dunlop sp600 tires

Why didn't you keep it? It looked great! :D

Lowered_Klass 11-21-2010 09:00 AM

The STI looks sick!

I put my winters on Rota Slips because I hate rollin on steelies all through winter.

spoon.ek9 11-21-2010 11:01 AM

^ i already hate my steelies (it's been 2 days) :lol

Gh0stRider 11-21-2010 11:04 AM

i like my steelies since they aren't curbed like my oem wheels haha

MindBomber 11-21-2010 12:04 PM

Since I have rims, I use my OEM wheels for winter.

Lookin good all year round!

Oh those look familiar :D. They do look great on your car! Did you adjust the suspension yet?

Nope. Took the car for a spin afterwards and didn't notice any scraping at all. Looks like there's just enough clearance that I wont need to roll the fenders.

Of course I may live to regret this decision once it snows again... :lol

:lol: The picture doesn't do it justice, your car is so much lower than the pic shows. I think if it snows another 5cm you are in trouble :).

spoon.ek9 11-21-2010 02:19 PM

why's your plate so dinged up Lomac? :lol

Gh0stRider 11-21-2010 02:27 PM

The Honda dealership did that. They parked my car too close to a bush after a service and when I backed out of the parking spot, a branch got caught behind the plate and pulled it. :(

Jermyzy 11-21-2010 03:40 PM

Okay help guys...lol...i'm changing my tires in my garage right now...and my wheel is frickin' stuck to the hub and won't come off!!!! This happens every year, but usually after a few mins of tugging it'll eventually come off, but this time it won't! Any ideas?! Also, how do I prevent this in the future?

Lomac 11-21-2010 03:45 PM

Kick the sides a few times. It will eventually budge.
