Amazing. I will go ask the dealerships.

Did you install the new shoes? How's the ride? Did you have a choice of winter tires?
Didn't really choose the tires since they were already waiting on the rims, if I recall, they were off an EX-T but the owner wanted Si wheels instead, so Honda took the wheels and got new winters on them, haven't heard much bad on the Winterforce 2's but I'll see, I'm used to using crappy off brand winters that performed surprisingly alright. Given the price I got it for I was pretty happy!

Strange they would have winter tires on an EX-T.
Never mind the reason. You got a great deal, wish I can find deals like this.

I got darn lucky on it! Then again, my family has purchased about 7-8 cars from them, I jumped onto the Honda train and decided to get my first as well! Never go to the Honda in my city, always take the trip for them, their service is always absolutely stellar and they're always honest and solid with prices/deals

I'm in Halifax and looking for a decent price on alloys for the winter. Maybe I need to give those guys a call to see what they have.

I'll be storing my Si in the next few weeks for the winter fortunately!

Free shipping in Canada for alloys and/or tires. https://pmctire.com/en/
Finally, a tirerack.com alternative up North! I couldn't find anything. I was set to go with Canadian Tire, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to order the wheels I wanted and delivered to the store. Nevermind finding offset specs, etc.

This site was perfect. I got these:

https://pmctire.com/en/wheels/rwc/a...anthracite-17x7-5-5x114-3-64-1-deport-45.tire

That's great, although you went with a wide 7.5 rim in a narrow 215 tire... I'll be slapping a 225/50-17 onto a 7" wide rim.

I couldn't find a 45 offset rim I liked in 7" width. Will that be a big deal? I figured if the tool says it's compatible with the tire, the extra 0.25" on either side should be negligible ... not sure now!
