I actually lucked out and ended up with the best of both worlds - affordable oem's.
I took the advice from an earlier post and decided to wait it out and see if I could find oem's in my price range. I was willing to get Spyders, but a guy here in town was replacing his Turbo II 20's with 22's and I got a LIKE NEW set of 20 Turbo II's with Pirellis in pretty decent shape for $1800!
I got them put on Friday. They look fantastic and I am one happy girl! No more "tractor tires!"

So, I got my wheels on and could not be happier - Happy Birthday to me!
A big plus is that they are painted, and easier to clean also, so my brake dust issue will be much reduced as well.
Thanks for all of the help, everyone!

Thanks!
Love it. As expected, it's rougher ride-wise, but it handles much better than the higher sidewall, narrower footprint tires I had on it before.
I'm a happy girl!

I have been hating the *&^% things ever since I got the car and I just could not take it anymore (drama font for my luxury problem).
I was going through gallons of tire black trying to make those ridiculous tires as unobtrusive as possible.
Obviously, it wasn't working, ha ha.
