Looking good! Nice winter setup. I guess the pics aren't to bad either 
My Black IS-F with Bridgestone Blizzaks
10
Here are a few pictures I took earlier today of my winter setup. The tires are Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25's. Size is 225-40-19's all around and have no clearance problems whatsoever. Ordered from Tire Rack and they shipped everything I needed. Figured I'd post this for people who will need to get these soon because of snow.

Looks great Nick!
If you move to Portland, you won't have to worry about the snow too often! The rain, however.......
I really like those rims for your snows. Good choice. How much did they run you?

Yes to answer another question on the post, my name is Nick. But no I don't plan on driving this car on the snow when it snows. I bought these tires just in case I was out and it happened to snow in the evening. Weather is unpredictable sometimes. I do have another car I can drive when it REALLY snows. Last thing I want to do is wreck a $60,000+ car.
About the looks of the wheel, I'm not crazy about it, but it's not bad for a temporary solution. I've seen other cars (non IS-F of course) that just run steel wheels and snows. The cost was not too bad at Tire Rack either. Total with wheels, tires, mounting and balancing it came to somewhere around $2100.
Perhaps I'll just move to Portland and deal with rain instead
I love it out there! I'll have to plan another trip back over there. My 1 week there wasn't enough. The pictures are for everyone to see what the wheel combo looks like on an IS-F in case anyone else was interested in getting a snow setup. Sometimes pictures that show up on Tire Rack's wheel configurator isn't what it really is in person. With me liking to take photos, I figured I'd share the setup with you. Thanks everyone!
It's an awesome setup, Nick, and for $2100, I'm going to grab a set myself if/when I move a little higher up in the hills. Right now, living in downtown, it only snows about once a year, and we have such a good streetcar system that you don't really even need a car. Out in some of the burbs, though, it's definitely good to have stickies on there as that rain turns to snow a lot more frequently.Yes to answer another question on the post, my name is Nick.
