#5162, "Got my winter beaters on yesterday"


          

Well, got the winterbeaters/battle wheels on yesterday, 16x7 ICW's Racing Wheels, and threw the Konig's in storage for the winter. I haven't had these things on in so long I forgot what a difference an 1" can make in the appearance of a wheel! They're not as pretty as the Konigs but I can chrip my tires like a mutha in 2nd gear emoji Not really important just thought I'd share emoji




Car feels much faster on 16's compared the the 17's.

I have my 14's sitting in storage if I need them
That fiberglass bumper and soon to be kit won't do well on the sportlines in snow anyways. I'll just drive my mom's montero sport! emoji

All4thaN0okie, I think these guys are the lucky ones. No snow for Fast420a and a 4 wheel drive SUV is available for 9D9.

Evul is right though...its all about the 14's...just not for me emoji

That's the thing, the montero sport we got is RWD. We didn't want 4WD, because we figured we would hardly ever need it. It doesn't snow a lot here. And 4WD's aren't as good on gas from what I heard. It still has the nice clearance tho to avoid a lot of shit my car can't anymore.
