hey, i'm planning on getting some 17's within the next couple months, just wondering what you guys do with your rims during the winter. should i keep the steelies on till spring and just get some cheap winter treads?

 

I always threw my 17s in the garage and rocked the steelies from the first snow until mid-march. When you store the 17s, make sure theyre away from electrical outlets, according to my old chem teacher, something with the electricity can break down the rubber in tires (I forget what it was exactly... I never really paid attention in school lol).

 

ha, alright sweet. anyone else swap their rims??

 

The salts and sands on the roads will probably cause a lot faster wear. I would take nice rims off for the winter.

 

i rock steelies every winter! my tires aren't made for snow lol so i slide all over

 

Steelies only during winter even though it doesn't see snow or salt. only rain

 

Ya when i had rims i threw the steelies on for the winter.

I havn't tried, but.. I don't wanna know if my Toyo Proxes are good in the snow lol.

I usually slap on my stock wheels when winter comes.

 

lol I can safely say Cooper Zeon ZPTs quickly become slicks in the snow... it takes about half a second for the tread to fill with snow... but sliding all over the place is kind of fun

 

Kinda fun til you hit a snowbank.
