I imagine they should be, now that STs are showing up. Considering you folks (in the US) got the STs ahead of us Canadians, you should have a head start on parts as well (?).

I had checked a while back with no luck but not recently.

I think the goodyears are runflats? That would be the weight difference if so...or at least part of it. It doesn't matter...since tomorrow im putting the pirelli p-zero nero's i bought on for the cold months. (i have purchased the same pirellis twice before and was very pleased with them).

I'm thinking i'll either sell the Goodyears or use 'em for summer...not sure.

I agree with the others, those look really good on your car
Here is a pic of the front...he also had his headlights and tail lights professionally painted. I actually liked the ST better with my Ti rims.

I like those eyelids

Honestly, looking at your pic and his, I think both vehicles benefited from the swap. I honestly don't really like the Ti wheels on sedans (idk why) and I'm not overly fond of the ST wheels on a hatch.

Awesome job on the swap

I don't believe they are run flats, but going from a W to a Y can add construction weight.

I couldn't agree more. Both are nice designs...but my Ti rims never impressed me on the sedan style.

I'm still pretty shocked the swap occurred. I've wanted those wheels since I saw them at the autoshow last year.
