New FL5 Owner - Winter Setup

[YamahondaGuy]

Just picked up my FL5 last month and had to get a proper winter setup quick as temps are starting to hit under 40f on morning commutes. Here are a few quick shots from my test spin after install. Thoughts welcome. I couldn't find any setup with these wheels in my search so maybe these will help someone.

Thanks.

Those look a lot like the OEM Integra Type S design in the last pic. Which Enkeis are they?

Helix, matte gunmetal, 19x9.5. Pretty sure these are new from Enkei. Up-sized tire aspect ratio from OEM 30 to 35 for added winter pothole protection. FItment seems good so far based off my limited experience. Admittedly these were over $300 a piece which is about what you could get the bronze DE5 wheels for.

I lived in Western NY for years..Not in this universe, would I ever take my FL5 out of the garage there until All of the snow has melted..My 1957 Ford Country Squire with snows and chains barely made it into Niagara Falls on snow days(every day from mid Nov. to about April)..I live in central WV now and the mere thought of pushing through 12 inches of wet snow with my FL5 splitter fills me with dread. Save your car and buy a cheap Subaru or anything for winter time driving..Your FL5 will thank you.
