Well for those who take their wheels off and store them for the winter and put the stockers or other wheels on, do you have yours off yet?

Mine came off today my hubcaps don't look too bad though

my summer wheels have better tires but I don't want the rims to get ruined

actually I'm not sure if my performance tires would be better in snow or not, although they do hold up good in rain

I had to take mine off the day before Thanksgiving when it snowed here. I was not so much worried about traction, I just did not want the salt screwing up my wheels and the polished lip. Sucks though. It is amazing what a difference it makes when you put your stock steelies back on.

from what i know here in alberta, they use salt and sand to melt the ice/snow off the roads. that leads to the salt eating away at the finish or rusting out your rims. not 100% sure but i'm positive that why people changes rims for winter.

I put my stock tires on last month cause it was lightly snowing and they started salting the roads. My handling now = sh*t.

It has more to do with the tires for me. Summer tires + snow = zero traction.
