Winter prepped
I'm bored so posting two photos .. car was dirty in any event, but still wanted to remember the transformation..
Before -
After -
Though at this point today, I'm sickened by the hubcaps and will probably pull them off.

Rep Power: 312 alright, well when you put your rims back on and see that their seized dont come cryin to me, plus i already warned you about your piston return springs wearing out, but who listens to me?
Grr! That reminds me to do the same. I'm gonna have to take off my bodykit so it doesn't act like it's a snowplow.. Plus it's fiberglass.. SUCKS! AHH! And my rims! My car is going to be so ugly this winter.. *Sigh*

Rep Power: 294 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

Rep Power: 360 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.
