Is there a specific reason why people go for 17 setup for winter?
cheaper tires, and more sidewall for rim protection. Narrow tires cut through snow better.
Remember the neuspeed's don't need hub rings or special wheel bolts.That is good to know. I was thinking of using my 18 Austin for winter and get another set of 18 wheels for Summer. This Neuspeed model and a couple Enkei are one of the models I am considering. For some reason, I just love the 5 or 6 spokes setup.
