Smile Winter wheels/tires for 997 C4S in the GTA

Does anybody have any recommendations for winter wheels and tires for my 2010 C4S? I'm thinking I should go down in size to an 18" wheel and assume that there would be no issues with the TPMS so long as the tire size stays the same.

If anyone has wheels and tires available for sale feel free to contact me via PM or reply if you know of a good place to go buy tires in the GTA. Thanks.

18" is fine and does not affect TPMS or other systems as long as the tires are sized correctly. Please call me if I can help. Thanks.

FYI In case you are interested I have a set of 18" Sport Techno rims (and spacers) from a 996 that I bought with the intention of putting them on my car. I've decided not use them and was planning on posting soon. They need a bit of cleanup but would make decent lightweight winter wheels.

18x8 et50 996.362.136.51 9.4KG
18x11 et63 996.362.142.52 11.9KG

PM me for details.

Guys thanks for the messages and I am still on the hunt if anyone has anything. I think I'd prefer 18's but if 19's come along I'd also be interested. Wheel/tire packages would be best if someone has something hiding in their garage.

Thank you for the listing. This morning I made the decision to take the C4S off the road for the winter. Some changes in my work will have me travelling a lot so the car will sit most of the winter anyways. Between the cost of winter tires and the savings of taking insurance off it makes it hard to justify the limited use the car would see.
