Wheels and Tires
It's not bad especially if you want OEM wheels and sensors, but I found that pricing relatively high compared to tire rack and limiting as you were confined to only the Pirelli winter tires.
I was able to get myself a set of moda EB1 wheels and Dunlop Sport Winter 3D's with TPMS sensors mounted, blanced and delivered for right around $1400. The Sport 3D's ranked as the # 2 winter tire in the customer response surveys on tire rack. The Pirelli's which I am assuming are the one's included with the MB package were in the top 5-6 tires also...just wasn't willing to pay that premium. IMHO the EB1's look almost factory - swap out the center cap and no one wold ever question it.

I don't know if there is any significant quality or lifetime difference, but the MB OEM TPMS can be $1000 a set.
