So I'm looking for some cheap winter wheels that clear the Brembos. I was looking on OEWheels site, but all of their 19s say they don't clear the Brembos. No take offs in my area right now, either, and I don't really want staggered for winter, anyways.

Honestly, the smaller the better - wish there were some 18x8.5 that would clear... but I'd take a 19x8.5, too, for snow tires.

Any suggestions? Cheapest at tirerack is about $170 a wheel.

Is going to be tough because the brakes are large so they require a high risk barrel application to work.

The Mrr gf9 is a solid option 19x8.5 but pricing is more then the 170 you saw on tire rack

Taht's just about all thye option you have. I bought the TireRack mounted and balanced package and I think I got in to the $1500 range. I knew what tire I wanted and what sizes, then on choosing a wheel I sorted what fit the car by price (low) and chose that one. A winter tire/wheel combo is not cheap. (in my book) but that's about as cheap as it can be.

my choice:

Why wouldn't a 19" fit...it comes with 19s.

??
It has to be a high disk clearance 19" because the 6 piston brembo brakes you have ( and I gave on my GT350) are soo tall they catch the inner structural lip of most 19" cast wheels.

Because of this the industry had to adapt and bring on models that work on the PP platform.

So not all wheels work, ensure what you do get does work.
