90 CQ Wheel/Tire Advice

[JRheeman@aol.com]

Hello everyone,

I am finally giving up on my diseased (oxidized) Speedlines.  I will use them
with my Blizzaks as winter wheels.  Now I'm in the market for some new wheels
and tires.  I am considering an upgrade to 16" TSW Hockenheim Rs with
225/50ZR-16 Dunlop D40M2s.

Questions:
1. Has anyone upgraded to 16s on their coupe or 90?  Did you notice a
difference?
2. Has anyone tried the 225/50s?  Will they clear the fenders.  Will there be
any noticible negative effect besides a decrease in mileage.  Is the increase
in handling noticible?
3. Anyone with an opinion of the TSW wheels (durability, strength, etc)?
4. Any opinions on the D40M2s?  They are on sale at the Tire rack for around
$97.  Seems like a good deal.  Are there other tires that I should give
serious attention to?  Remember that I have the Blizzaks for the winter, so I
really only need a dry/wet tire.

Any advice would be really appreciated.  I'm looking to buy soon as my
Blizzaks aren't that great for dry/wet driving.

Thanks in advance!
