    What's your original wheels? I don't trust those replica wheels over OEM ones. Some name brands like OZ might give you more bang for the buck when you sell them later down the road.

    x2 on Hayden's comment. Hartmann wheels are quality replicas.

    @ Op Nice upgrades. I also put a set of DWS06's on order but at my local dealer. They price matched the shipped number from TireRack. Apparently they are running some new program for aggressive pricing for tires. Install in two weeks.

    I went with the hartmans because people recommended them here and I always wanted those style wheels. My current tires are DWS06 and loved them, but already put 23k miles on them and they are getting end of life.
