Smile Winter Tire Setup - Drag DR31 Gunmetal 18s w/ Hankook i-Pikes

I'd like to say big thanks to Chris@wheelsdirectonline for suggesting this setup!
I was very pleasantly surprised at how good they looked for "budget" wheels.
Never thought that this gunmetal finish would work so well with red paint.

We haven't gotten much snowfall in chicago yet, but I'll report on how the Hankook i-pikes perform when we do.
Thank jebus my commute is only 5 miles one way....


Here's some quick pictures I took this morning before going to sleep (I work overnights):





The rear wheels are sunk in a bit, but I don't mind the look.

P.S. changing out the front wheels was a major pain in the *** due to a sixth stud that makes it difficult to
mount the wheel perfectly on the 5 bolts. In addition, I had to use a spare set of lug nuts I had laying around
from my altima to install these since the lug nuts from the sport rays 19's would not fit, just a FYI for anyone
thinking about this setup.
