to be honest, when it comes to expensive power tools, i wouldn't ever stray from the name brand stuff. milwaukee offers a 5yr warranty, and since they have been making tools and quality tools for that matter for so long i know i wont have to rely upon that warranty.
buying things on ebay, is scary enough - but spending $150 on a no name brand, is even scarier. the listing states its a 380 n.m. torque, which is roughly 240lb tq, and thats hard to believe out of a 12v impact. plus it sells you sockets that are not meant for impact guns. those standard sockets will explode under the impacting pressure.
save yourself the headache: by name brand when it comes to power tools. you will thank me later, when in 5years your still using the same impact gun and its serving you well. the only time i buy no name brand or harbor freight power tools is when its like $20-$30 and wont serve under any pressure or stress: buffing wheel(things used once a year lol)
In the 1400s for tires and wheels. Total bill was 1740 including shipping. I want to say the sensors added 240-250. They are 18s. Tried to go as small as I could for better control in the slop. Got them at tire rack.
Midseason update: I've driven through a number of days with several inches of snow. Some where the temps were single digits and nothing works to get the roads totally clear. The tires are phenomenal. I go right along in conditions that have many other people sliding. Really the only thing that would be an issue would be a major accumulation due to ground clearance. Otherwise I love driving this car in pretty much all conditions.

Coupe owner here, 18 inch wheels with lm-60s all around, no issues at all with sport brakes. Also... I'll second the OPs comments, amazing combo for snow. Kicks the crap out of most things on the road as long as you're dealing with < 4-5 inches of snow or so.
