Turbo-X Winter Tires at Tire Rack

Since it's performance related and 9-3 related, I'll post this on both places.
I visited Tire Rack headquarters today and had my Turbo-X measured (they have laser gizmos and a computer program) to be sure wheels fit over the ovesize brakes, etc. The options should be in their system soon for ordering. I bought Conti Winter TS810s 225-50-17s, having an H service description (130 mph) rather than tires with the manual's recommended Q service description (89 mph). If I were more downwind from the Great Lakes than Chicago, I might have gone with Qs because of Lake Effect snow. There are also V "Performance Winter" tires from several manufacturers.
The Contis are mounted on Borbet XL rims. I might have gone with cheaper rims if they had been in stock, but these are really nice looking. There were quite a few tire options, depending on your tread and aspect ratio preferences, and today they were pretty sure there were about eight or so rim options.
