Well I don't feel too bad, I still have "rims" on my car and they're not terribly stock looking. But around New Year's I was tempted to put my OZs back on, just because they were predicting 5 days of clear and above freezing weather. Good thing I didn't... as usual the weather man was full of **** and we had 2" of snow and an inch of ice.
Anyways...
Winter

Summer

But I can't wait to get these bad boys on...

mainly salt for when it snows. that salt is a rim killer, my friend left his 17s on last winter and when spring came around the rims were a shade darker with this thick film on them that couldnt be washed off.
