59551, It's almost time to switch the rims kiddies
Posted by bullox, Oct-07-03 02:04 PM
But damn it I don't want to ;(

My first summer with rims is coming to a close, and the harsh weather we see in Milwaukee wouldn't be nice to my 17s.

Steelies, get ready to go back on.


Anyone else getting close to switch time? Already switched?

The only, and I emphasize only, reason is because i'm gonna be commuting an hour to school and then an hour back home for my senior year in college. I need something that can handle the daily commute and has a warranty. Trust me, I do not want to sell my car(I love it more than anything)...if I had some way of keeping it and getting a new car, that would be the way I would go.
Sorry for jacking the thread:thumbsup

Snow = salt on roads, salt on roads = backup wheels.

the snow owned me last winter...or at least the guardrail did. car is sitting the winter this time!

but i do have to throw the steelies back on to get it inspected. not sure if the front tires will pass and i dont want to make two trips.

my 14" steelies with hubcaps are going back on either next weekend, or over thanksgiving break... probably next weekend becasue salt and aluminum wheels = NONO!:nono

that and my tires like rather warm, dry pavement. 225/45/17 Phantom HRX's are all weather tires? my ass!
