Ceramic Silver Stinger with black wheels

[Crayola Grey]

They look nice but I don’t think it’s worth paying that.

For $250 more you can buy a set of aftermarket wheels that are lighter and IMO, look better with more concavity and wider stance. Throw some winter tires on the stock ones and plastic-dip em gloss black. That’ll cost you like $40.

Dang! Winter tires and plastidip for like $40 is a helluva good deal

Getting winter tars in the staggered 19-inch sizes will offer less sidewall for cushion and leave your rims more vulnerable to pot-hole dmanages, as opposed to going with 18-inch for the winters. That was my l ogic anyway.

Haha winter tires not included!

You can go with a 245/40 19. That’s what I’m running on my A4 with Michelin xIce tires. More sidewall than stock and still within 3% rolling diameter.

Is yours RWD? With the front and rear rims being different widths on my 19's, and with it being AWD, I need to match tire diameters across the board - which is easiest by keeping the two different OEM sizes... And the 19-inch winters are more expensive and also aren't you worried about "winter damage" to your nice 19's?

Oh snap. I see you have all aftermarket 19's. They sure do look good! So you got all front and rear rims the same width? You didn't go for staggered?

That photo is my Audi A4. It's a square setup (all 4 corners) 19x8. Those wheels are from an Audi A5, the stock "Y spokes". I've ran these for years now in the winter and have had no issues with bent wheels as there is plenty of sidewall. They're plasti-dipped gloss black and because it's rubberized, it protects the wheel from chips and road salt. I've peeled one off last year and re-sprayed it and it looked pristine underneath.

For summer on my AWD Stinger I went with 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear aftermarket wheels (Niche Vosso M204) with the stock tires. Cost me $1,250 including tire mounting and balancing.

I don't winter drive my Stinger, have the A4 for that, but if I was going to I'd install 245/40 19 winter tires on all four stock wheels. The stock front wheels are 19x8 and the rears are 19x8.5 and that tire will fit fine on both and is within 3% of the original stock tire size so no issue with speedo or braking.

19" tires are a bit more expensive but I like how running the stock wheel looks in the winter and not having to buy a dedicated winter wheel. I'd rather spend that money on a nice light set of aftermarket wheels for summer. Personal preference for sure.

Yeah.. I'm in agreement... Cad1000 seems punchy to have change wheel colour!

That is the size I'm going to get for my new Rohana 19x8.5
