Hi everyone,

Yeah - I know it's still August and all, but winter is coming. What do you use for winter wheels? I'd like to take the stock SE alloy wheels off and use some steel wheels when the salt and snow and junk is on the road...

thx

 

I used to use my stock wheels w/ snow tires in the winter.....I have aftermarket wheels for the spring/summer. Buy a second set of stock wheels, no need to stoop to ugly steelies.

 

I'm going to be buying a set of 17" wheels here soon. That's going to make 3 sets or rims

Stock- winter tire
15" Motegis - traveling
17"- Local area

 

get some GXE wheels from a junkyard. The 6" tire width will be better in the snow, and they look good on the car still.

 

Get some nice aftermarket 16 or 17's for spring, summer and fall and use the stockers for winter. It will give you something to look forward to.

 

GXE wheels make great winter wheels.....A dime dozen at the junkyard

 

I'm glad I can use my spiffy motegis all year round. Just gotta deal with the extreme heat in the summer.

 

I have a set of steelies with snow tires mounted on them.

I say just use whatever you can find cheapest at a junkyard. If they happen to have four GXE or SE wheels cheap, buy them. Steelies at a tire store tend to be expensive, too.

 

what... no pics of the winter wheels?

 

just dont use sport tuner tires just use the 15inch stockers those will do

 

i have a set of GXE's for sale, you just need tires. make offer!!!! i need to get rid of them.

 

thanks for the offer of wheels, but shipping across the continent and into Canada would be a killer...

just drill out a few Hockey pucks jk I'd say hit the junkyards and see what you can find.

 

Mizeree, what wheels do you run in the winter with the cobra brakes? I need to find a set of something to fit mine, otherwise I might just be putting winter tires on my mustang wheels.

 

he runs the mustang wheels youve got on in your sig.

 

no, he said he runs stock wheels in the winter, but do they clear the bbk w/cobra rotors??
btw.. your new sig looks cool tripleG..

 

No, I said I USED to run stock wheels. TripleG is right:



Cobra wheels w/ Michelin Arctin Alpin snow tires for the winter.

 

I hate you so much

 

thats what id like to do, but i may end up jut buying another car....a winter beater....do those tires have studs in them?
