I know that the climate there is mostly mild. But a true performance tire would be better with the planned suspension mods, and your existing tire could wear snows or M&S for the winter.
Perhaps the anticipated tire is performance decent as a M&S tire; I don't keep up with tires as well as I should. I will be getting new tires for my '03 9-5 Aero sometime this spring or summer, but these will be summer only tires. So I have some work to do making that choice.
Both wheel choices look good and the prices are very close too. Both look quite good. I am inclined to go with the ASA em9. The Fox 5 has a typical 5 spoke look that I like. I like the Fox 2 with five bold busness like no nonsense spokes. But the Fox 5 seems to be undecided about what look it wants to have. Spokes or web. The em9 is a classic look, a bit lacy/busy in a way, but it seems to be a much more self consistant design. Both will present some issues with wheel cleaning. As far as wheel cleaning, the Fox II is hard to beat... but it is not available in 17". Both wheels seem to be excellent values.
