Default Winter Tires and Steelies

Hello,

As the title suggests I need to pick up some winter tires and steelies for the Z.
Any recommendation on what type (brand/size) and where I should get them?
Have the Touring model so no Brembos to worry about.

Careful depending on the year you will either be able to use 16inch with rubber or in my case with my 06 you need 18inch rubber due to the brake offset.

I don't recommend steel rims... in fact the don't make them for anything over 16". I picked up a set of alloy wheels for about 125 each. I've attached a link to the set that I have

For tires I went with Dunlop M3 WinterSport and they were awesome... I highly recommend these tires.

I have only driven through 1 winter and stored my car last year and will be doing the same this year. That said, I may be willing to part with my wheels and winter tires if the price is right.

To be honest I'm not sure as I don't have Brembos on my '06... my gut is telling me that they will.
