I guess I could buy a winter beater for chump change, but then it would burn gas and not rubber. Wait, who am I kiddin'! LOL Anyway, I bought some winter tires and I bought some stock lug nuts for the steelies that they're on. Maybe I should get some plastic covers too? Nah, WTF for... Wouldn't look better IMO. Just more stock. hehe...

My parents have a 90 Corolla that's the family beater. When I don't feel like driving in my Civic (like when there's 1/2 a foot od snow on the ground, I bust out the Corolla.
I left the rims on my Civic during winters because I had allweather tires (Sumitomo HTR+) and I put the stockies on the Corolla. Heh the Honda hubcaps look hot as **** on the Corolla. I have 18s now with tires I don't think are all weather, so I'm going to put the stocks back on, and put the corolla's original wheels on soon.
