Winter wear on my new rims!?

[thechevy]

Will the snow and road salt ruin my Moto Metal 951's im pretty sure there machined? so I think im just gonna put on my old shitter rims for the winter haha.

We don't get snow here but everything I have seen our Northern buddies post says PUT ON THE WINTER RIMS!

Are they the ones in your avatar? If they're the black ones, I wouldn't be worried about runnin' 'em in the winter.

Always run winter wheels if you have them available. Salt can and will damage almost anything.

I just switched out my winter rims last wednesday.... Cost me about $160 a year...

damn at that price I might as well buy a decent pair of winter tires to keep on the rims..

but if you have the extra set, switch them out... why chance it! My winter rims are shit, but they keep my summer ones nice!

Cost me ~$75 to get the rims switched out, balanced, rotated. Gotta do it in the spring when it gets nice and winter when I take them back off

If you cared about them, you would switch them out.


Thats how i look at it.

You should just bite the bullet and mount different tires up on your winter wheels and swap them out yourself. That $160 a year adds up plus it's a pain in the ass. I've done it but I finally just bought a second set of tires and it's so much easier now.

I just swapped to my winter wheels which are the steelies that came on it. They're ugly, that's for sure, but better than messing up my others.

liquid brine salt crap messed up my all terrain wheels when the truck was 2 months old
