So 130 is not fast enough in the snow Matt?

the middle tread pattern has also changed a little from the M2's to the M3's

And I'll bet the M3's got a different rubber compound... you don't get the kind of performance differences that people are noticing on tread design/sidewall alone.

You would think :lol: Sometime you just gotta get to the snow faster...

I agree, It must be a softer compound to get that kind of traction. Sounds like I need to burn through both sets of my tires and replace next year.

I have STi not a WRX so I think that the rims are a tiny bit mpre expensive. I need tires for a trip the first weekend in Oct. I'm still getting rims this month, hopefully in time for the last autocross event, other wise I'm out. :( I'm gonna get Rota Torque's....mikeSTi please don't hate me for being a copy cat.

Just dont get the same color :P

could be hard to burn snow tires :lol:
mine made it all last season (9,000 miles) and show little sign of wear :?

like I said before maybe in 5 years I will get another set of snow tires :? :lol:

Actually, no one's gotten a set of the SDR's for an STi up here yet! I think those are sweet winter rims for the STi... they look good, are easy to clean. the only drawback is that they're pretty heavy, which isn't a big deal on winter rims.

I vote SDR's!!!!

Actually, I think a set of gunmetal SDR's on the SVX would RULE... but alas, I don't think they have 'em in 5x114.3 yet. :(

I think the cost is the same. I have 17x8 torques on my wrx (bronze). I got them for $599 from subydude. Besides I got mine before Mike, so Mike you already copied me!

Of course Mike I hadn't met you yet, so I can't claim you copied me.

I don't know about that. I was able to detstroy my transmission in a single track day. Just give me a little time.

I also have the SDR's in Steel Grey so yes someone does have them :P
They are my winter wheels :D

Really!? I don't remember seeing them on your car? Did you run them last winter?

....hmm i like the sdr's too, and I'd be orginal at least for now. :D

Depending on which color you get. :twisted:

they can also be seen where ever this thread is:

:lol: :lol:

no need to be orginal just go with the ones you like. I run the SDR's as winter rims so I dont mind anyone who wishes to do the same, atleast I know if some one says they burned me on the freeway with SDR's on I know its ok because they are my winter tires :lol: now if you get the Torque's dont get the gunmetallic, you will look to much like my car and Torques' should not wear snow tires 8)

Nice work on finding the old thread! I totally forgot about those rims since you went and got the bronze torques so soon after! Those SDRs really do look good on STis. :twisted:

I think Deede should get some black or gold ones... they wouldn't look exactly the same as Mike's, but she'd still be copying him. :P :lol:

hahah! I love that picture.

I'm working on some "creative financing" to get my hands on a pair of SDR's. I've also emailed Subydude a quote for how long it will take for me to get my wheels. I might be able to have them in time for my fricken trip to Fresno :evil: . Then I could for sure autocross one more event.

WTH is in Fresno? haha
