So with the threat of 3-6 inches of snow tonight - I decided to put on my winter tire package.

I picked up a brand new set of 07 16' Malibu rims and sensors from Ebay - then ordered a set of Dulop Graspic DS-3's from Tire Rack.

Here are few shots...Front new - Rear Original 18's

I did exactly the same things as you for the wheels and the sensors on eBay ! It cost me $320 for wheels and sensors. How much did you pay ?

As a matter of fact - your pics were the reason I went with those rims....The rims were 235 and the sensors were 65 - so 300 for the rims & sensors. The tires from Tire Rack were 86 each with a 25 dollar rebate. I didnt have to pay for shipping as they just opened a warehouse in CT and they allow you to pick them up for free !!

The rims were a great find - you might have bought them from the same guy as me - they were 100% brand new in boxes....I was really happy with them !!!!

I went to multiple swapmeets trying to find rims that fit our cars and had a really tough time - as GM made rims 5x100 - 5x110 and 5x115. I found all kind of rims 5x115 - but nothing 5x110.
