Rep Power: 387 Wheels are now off [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG] and m y car looks much darker without the hub-caps on.. (racer mode).
Waiting until the 1st snow fall? i too was considering that but this last rain bout we had was considered a NorEaster and had it been colder, it would've snowed... They also said, for every 1" of rain it = 1' of snow (I think)....
Is it spring yet?

Rep Power: 419 Not I said the fly. Not me said the flea. I will not be swapping my wheels in the winter. This is kinda an experiment of mine. Plus I don't have my stock ones anymore since I sold them to Phil (TwilightX). Hehe, whoops! Nah, I think it'll be okay. I bet my aftermarket wheels will have more grip in the snow than those crappy Firestones. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG] We'll see though, I'll write up a summary of my experiences after winter is over and post it in a thread. I bet it won't be that bad.

Rep Power: 0 Grey i would change your mind about leaving them on for the winter, i had to leave my rims on last winter because i lost my factory lungs and my rim key. but i found them a few weeks ago. and the salt got on my rims and all the sand you can see little spots where the salt sat on the rims, so unless you plan on washing them every day, its not worth it,
PBfoot dude i think we are going to have a hell of a winter, with the warm dry summer, winter is being predicted to be a biggie
Blk4blk2k1 dont the car look so sad now, i look at it and i miss my rims

Rep Power: 419 Those DV8's are too symmetrical. I know what you mean about the dark look though. It's awesome. Kinda a Darth Vader kick yo *** type thing.
I'll be repainting my wheels come spring time anyway, so I don't care if they get a little gross. I'll strip them of all the old paint and I might lighten them using Lye (eats through aluminum). Don't know what color to paint them, but I'de like them to have a polished lip. We'll see...

Most of my friends removed their aftermarket rims already. I don't think I'm going to take mine off the usual driver (Z28), just put her in the garage. I'll be rockin' Oldsmobile style on those crappy days.
