Here is the set up that I got: 17"Sport edition F5 wheels with Michelin X ice XI2 tires. I went with the F5 wheels since they did not require any spacers or centering ring and use OEM lug bolts. The tires were put through the test yesterday with the 10 plus inches of snow we received and performed very well in braking and acceleration. My car was ordered with 18" sport pkg wheel set up so you can about imagine the improvement over that set up in the snow. The wheels are not the hottest but they will clean up easily and it is just a winter set up. My thanks to Gary and the staff at Tire Rack, I ordered the wheel on Tuesday and received them on Thursday.

I'm thinking about something similar, probably Micheline Alpin PA3. Did you get 4 or 5 tires/wheels? I'm just wondering what if you get a flat?

I ordered my car with the sport pkg. and 18"wheels with performance tires, turns out they are not run flats and I have a space saver spare. Don't know if all 08s came like this when ordered but mine did: D
