Any Canadians in the house?

Speak up! From Toronto here!

What are you running for winter? Where did you buy?

How would 18 inch Brabus monoblock replica's look on the car?

How would 19 inch snows perform on stock wheels?

We need a GTA minimeet!

car is stored for winter, would never expose the beast to salt-covered roads plus it gives you lots of time for mods !!

Are they staggered fit? Did you go with 255/40/18 all around?

I believe VRUS over in the E55 forum is a Toronto guy. He's doing some amazing working tuning his 55K engine.
