Who says I wouldn't be interested?! I mean, I so don't want my wheels to seize. But I'm **** poor, so how about you send me money for the shipping and we'll take care of it


Sorry to be a bad reminder, but the weather is getting cold these days sadly

here is what you do to prevent anything happening with your wheels and tires. (going off tirerack.com's recommendations)
1. Seal the wheels with the tires in individual bags (garbage bags). Do not let air out
2. Keep them upright, off the sidewalls and on the tread
3. Every once in a while rotate them a bit so they dont always sit on the same part of the tire
4. Keep them at a reasonably warm temperature (preferably inside).

Keeping them warm and sealed keeps the tires from drying out. Rotating prevents flat spots.

What i did: Sealed them and put em downstairs in my basement till next spring. its cool down there but not cold.
