17x7.5 Sports Editions A7 / Dunlop SP Winter Sports 3D 205/50R17

TPMS has no issues syncing.

Went for the factory look w/ snows.

No additional hardware was needed and center caps fit.

Thanks, now for the snow....

Are those Dunlop's directional tires? In the first picture, the top of the tire almost looks like it has a rearward-facing arrow for direction.. It's kinda hard to tell, but just want to make sure you don't have it on backward..

Nice looking setup. I got the same wheels with Michelin XI2's. I'm really anxious to see how this car is going to do from a stop on an uphill incline with ice. The last time I had rear wheel drive was years ago with an RX7, and it could be a little touchy getting moving.
