Got my winter wheel/tires today...
I'll be putting them on tomorrow. I have a question after reading the instructions from tire rack.
Apparently there's a 12mm pin that needs to be removed from the hub before after market wheels can be installed. Is that so? And if so, must it be put back in place when I reinstall the stock wheels in April, or can I leave them out permanently?

Turns out that with a matched set of stock 19s all around, there was no pin.
As an aside, the winter set are 18s coupled with Michelin X-Ice tires. Holy crap, is the ride different... I mean wildly noticeable. Not remotely close to the summer tires in terms of handling, feeling the road, and ride quality. The winters have given the coupe a real soft luxury feel. Interesting to see how a tire can change the dynamics of the car so thoroughly.
