Default For the ones with the F-Sport and RWD GS sedans: Winter set

I will be putting on my 18 inch winter set that I purchased from tirerack this Friday and storing my 19 inch F-Sport wheel/tire at a local shop for the winter time. I will post pictures of the car with the rims. I got the Enkei Ammodo 18 x 8 rims with Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 tires.

FYI, I had Alpin PA's on my eibach lowered 2Gen GS, you wont be disappointed at all. Great winter tires.
Went through a nasty storm once and was blasting past everyone.

Nice combination.

I should be receiving my set next week.

I have seen some hand held units to program the TPMS sensors to the car, any one know if there is one that will work on the 2013 GS?

I got the winters mounted today and the car feels great. Smooth, comfortable and sporty. I like the rims. They are 18 inch and clean looking and of high quality and great balance. Still have to break in the tires for few hundred more miles before giving a final review.

They do look simple though but nice. I did not want to get rims that will make me hate the standard 19 inch ones. Hahah.

However, I had vibration in the car seats at 70 plus mph so I had to go back to the installer and they rebalance them all and the left rear wheel had a bad tire on it and they rematched it to the rim for a better road force balance. The vibration is alot better but still there so I will get that tire replaced. Otherwise the ride and handling is great at lower speed and around town. I hate vibration.
