I don't love any of the stock 20s unfortunately so I don't think I would get the 20's with the car and then buy the 19 winter package. I was thinking about getting the 20's using them for the season and then treating myself to the HREs just as the newness of the car is wearing off. I would then shod the 20s with winter rubber. My concern is whether there will be a significant winter perfomance difference between the 20s and the 19s. Any thoughts - preferable based on experience?
These are the ones I have now and they get a top report.
20" wheels are good.
The Pirelli winters are crap in comparison.
