anyone put 205/50-16 Conti DWS-06+ on Dekagrams?

Has anyone put this exact size Conti UHP all season on a 16x8 Dekagram, and if so how did they fit/sit on the wheel (lots of stretch, not much, etc.)?

How is the turn-in response/handling with that setup?

Also, has anyone found a flat, snap-in/press-in center cap to fit the Dekagrams and cover the allen screw holes in the center bore, to replace the raised, screwed-on Konig caps?

I saw you had these installed a few weeks ago, just wondering how you're liking them or not. They're on my short list for my own set of Dekagrams I have sitting in my garage.

If you have the wheels take them to a tire shop you trust and that has the tire you're interested in. They might charge a small fee to test one tire on one wheel and then check for clearances while on the car.

They 'sit' on the dekagrams better (aesthetically at least) than the same size Neo Gens did on my bronze set of Dekagrams (the beyond flush 'poke' on the back wheels, which I did not like with that setup, does not seem quite as pronounced), and they are most definitely quieter, do not 'crash' as much over sharp bumps, and are much 'cushier' than the Nittos.

I have not had a chance to really push them (as far as one can on the street, without getting incarcerated) to test their ultimate grip, especially in this colder weather that I purposely bought them to handle.

But the turn-in is not as razor sharp as the Neo Gens, as to be expected of a softer, not XL rated side wall tire, and it being a more 'real' all season UHP tire (SL side wall, 560 treadwear rating vs. Neo Gen's 280 and XL rated side wall, with a (very) light snow capable, and a probably better/safer standing water oriented tread pattern.

Overall, I like the way they look on the car, and part of that is that I got tired of the bronze color wheels (even as good as they look on the Magnetic color FiSTs) with the satin black wheels looking more 'race/rally', even if they do not 'pop' like the bronze Dekas.

Also, now I do not have to worry about throwing on my winter setup if there is only going to be a half inch or less snowfall, like we usually get around here.
