One set is going to be all-seasons (moving them over from the stock wheels) and the other set will be the summer/autocross tires.

Isn't it always summer in Davis?

By the standards of the Great White North, yes.
But we do get enough rain and cool enough temps (most years) that summer tires get cranky*, so I'm in the habit of switching back to all-seasons for the winter.
*flat spots and total lack of traction

I have a rectangular piece of aluminum maybe 3" wide and 6" long that I curve into a funnel shape to catch oil that spills out of the top of the filter and direct it into the oil drain pan. Just hold the aluminum against the filter housing/block/whatever and undo the filter one or two threads and wait for it to stop dripping. Keeps oil off the Fiero's driveshaft and the Suburban's exhaust pretty well. I used to use a piece of plastic, but the aluminum lets me bend corners or adjust curvature for a better result.

Those should look super on the car. These for DD or AX?

What does the Bat say?
You have like 18 sets of wheels now, don't you?
Those look amazing though

Only 3.5 sets on the premises. And one in the UK. *cough*
I was all excited to do some testing of different tire sizes for AX, but kinda talked my self out of it--after I bought the wheels. Doh. So they'll likely end up being DD wheels or rain tires.

Are you running stock brake pads or something else?
