Yes, 1010tires.com.

I just finished ordering my tire and wheel package from 1010tires. I got the Sport Edition F10's with Blizzak LM-60"s. It was looking like the tires were starting to sell out. I won't get the car for a month or so, but I want to make sure I have winter shoes for her when she arrives.

Seems like a great website, I think I will be placing an order, excuse my massive ignorance but what size rim and tire will I need to fit the car? I'm looking at the Sport Edition C6 Black.

225/50R18 Tires, 18"x8" 5/114.3 Rims. You can call 1010tires and they can check fitment for your care as well. Tirerack.com has a winter section that you can enter your car and it will tell you the right tires and rims for your care.

Thank you, you've been a great help. I think I'm going to go ahead and order the SE Rims and Blizzaks this week, seems to be a good combo.

Good replies. Thanks for helping out your fellow forum member.

Why the car is too stupid to just learn 8 sensor codes is beyond me. The light will go off when I put the summer tires/rims back on, so it's no big deal.

As for this whole TPMS issue...frankly I think it's a formality that only benefits house-wives who wouldn't notice a flat tire if it hit them in the face. If the 370Z still showed each tire's pressure individually, I would have bought the sensors. But for a system to tell me that my tire pressure is >25% below the ideal pressure and to NOT say which tire it is...well that's just a stupid system. I check my tires frequently enough to find a problem anyway. Hell, I've driven 13 years without a TPMS system. The times I had a flat, I knew I had a flat.

yes Spear, I wasn't too thrilled to hear that I have to recalibrate the sensor everytime I change the tires. Also, I have to set up appointments and go to dealer to get this done (I'm not too fond of dealers and my dealer is 50 miles away). I took the TPMS off the order. As long as there's no annoying beep (not that I know of), I think I can live with the small light on the dash. In future if I DO want the TPMS, I can always add it in future. Shaving off close to $360 on the order makes a significant difference. This money can go toward other mod(s)

I just put in order for a set of SE A7s .. They're not as good looking as the ones in the picture but hey, still functional~!

For canadian buyers, it still comes out to be cheaper to buy it from tirerack as their price to canada include Tax/Duty etc...

Exact same set up from 1010tires came out to be $1900cad+tax whereas tirerack $1780USD including tax. (which comes out to be around 1900cad tax included)
