Winter ones are the silver ones... summer ones are the Gun Metal ones..
as you can tell the winters are a taller profile then the summers..

ahah the ramps are so i can get the Jack under the car easy.. i just drive up on them... slid the jack under and makes life 100x easier when you got the lip on it and slightly lowerd (cant remember how much.. as high as the ground controls go which is like .5 lower then stock)

i use something along them lines because of the stupid black crap on the bottom of the stock base model bumper (if u know what im talking about)...the jack hits it and its a pain in the ass i can just image what its like with a kit

Havent tryed them yet this year as we just got snow finally about 4hrs ago and at that point when it just started i was out in the car but it was just melting on the ground... then later on i was out in my tahoe and that point it was all ice and such but that thing is a beast any way... and fun to drift in ahaha
But last year when we got a good dump of snow these tires were amazing.. so i cant wait to see this year when we get lots how the tires+limited slip differential work out

IMO ditch the GT logo if you car is not a actual GT. PLus it looks WAY out of place. I like your gunmetal rims.

my 2 bits,

no offense but I dont really like either of them, I hate universal 5 lug I think it ruins the look of the rims, just my $.02 though

The gunmetal looks much better in my opinion.
