It is now end of December 2017 and the weather is getting nasty up here in WV and the tires are starting to show some belts when I rode them before the bad alignment.  I was never a fan of the ESR wheels that came with the car and the dealership couldn't get the original wheels from the previous owner. So I spent about 1 week browsing Tirerack and forums to get a good set of wheels and tires.

I ended up ordering the following.

2 Enkei TS-10 front wheels 18x8.5 ET 25 wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 Assym All season 245/40R18

2 Enkei TS-10 rear wheels 18x9.5 ET 35 wrapped in Goodyar Eagle F1 Assym All season 265/40R18

They came 2 days later mounted and balanced. They included brand new lug nuts and the center cap for the wheels. Took me about 2 hours to install them. The rear wheels are a little sunked in but not enough for me to care.

Before the swap, I did weight the wheels and tires.

That is 46 lbs for the each front wheel/tire and 47.5lbs for the rear ones. I was surprise that 1" of extra width didn't make more difference in the weight. The wheels themselves are supposed to be 19lbs. So that means each rubber weight around 27 to 29lbs.  The ESR wheel that came on the car were 49lbs front and 51lbs on the rear so I shaved a few pounds while being a tad stronger. 

Now the car looks a lot better. 

After getting an oem alignment , this new set really performed well in the cold/wet and I've taken it in the snow a few times and I had a blast. It feels planted and have tires not stretched allows more control.
