Rims in winter !!

[elitesystem]

I was interested in purchasing a set of Konig evolutions i believe they are off of a friend of mine but she isnt looking to sell them till august. I dont want to put them on and have to take them right off. So i was wondering if i get a decent set of snow tires, are these going to be okay in the winter? or should i stay away from that?

From what I've gathered in searching multiple sites, most people take theirs off. I have found people that keep them on and have good luck just by washing them regularly. I plan on keeping mine on all year long. I'll get a nice coat of wax on the painted part and just make sure I keep the wheels clean. I had a lifted Jeep Wrangler with ARE's on it and I cleaned them often. The wheels always looked new.

i'm keeping mine on all winter, just going to clean them every weekend to keep them salt free

i think most take them off cause the salt eats the paint way

pretty much...i just can't put those 16's back on with the crappy continental tires or I will die in the snow

i heard they make jdm wheels that are good for all year long probably expensive though

well, the real question is, where do you live? if you live somewhere that doesn't get a lot of snow, then who cares, but if you're in a snow state, then don't put them on.

i powder coated a set of g35 rims and put dunlop winter d3's on them for winter. i switch between those and my nismo rays for summer and winter. I also had to do this because of my maxima big brake upgrade, the steelies wouldnt have fit over the new rotors, so i got 18's all year round now. BTW, i have a set of g35's for sale if that interests you
