^^^ Definetly I like the fat 5 spokes from the beretta's better but I like the first choice better than the 14" hubcaps.

14 inch will be cheaper to buy winter tires for... and they would be better with more sidewall flex in the winter. Berretta wheels are more pretty though. Personally I'm going 14 inch for my winter tires/rims.

it go with the beretta wheels simply b/c they're wider and you'll get better traction in slippery winter weather.

He's right. I m going to run skinny 14's for the winter also. They cut through
the snow way easier. Like a hot knife through butter! I have yet to get stuck
in a rut or ditch with them also.

Actually, a narrow tire can be an advantage in the snow because you have more weight pressing down on a smaller area, which can help you dig down into the snow better.

I'd go with the 14's simply because the tires will be cheaper. They're winter wheels. Who cares what they look like?

the skinnier tires may be better in snow, but not on ice. guess it depends on where you live. around here i only have to drive in 2inches or more of snow a few times during the winter... otherwise its mostly just driving over icy roads, and i noticed a lot more slipping when i had the 14" steelies on mine trying to go over ice.

i think i'm gonna go the 14" route. cheeper to purchase only 2 tires as apposed to buying 4 more expensive tires. thanks for the opinions though.

Can't go wrong w/ this look...



Yea, that's how I'm rockin' the car this winter. Fresh coat of black automotive Rustoleum paint really made the steelies look good actually But Now I need to change up my sig, haha.
