hey guys,

I got a nice set of rims and all season tires for a awesome price and i wanted to know if it would be ok to put them on now, even though the NY winter will hit.

I am concerned about the finish on the wheels, should I be?I just dropped some decent paper getting the wheels and Id love to rock em thru the winter, but not if it means they will look crappy in the spring!

Suggestions?

Pete... sound familiar lol?

I agree with slipknot, as long as you wash off any abraisive stuff that gets on them, you should be fine...

I drove my 20s thru 1 winter and didnt have any issues...

ill be swapping them out shortly for aftermarket 18s, only to get better traction from an all season tire!

Cleaner won't do any good if you slide on some ice and curb check your rim. Be careful!

Sorry for the thread jack but does anyone knows what rims will clear a BBK? That's my dilemma
