I live in CT, and I'm thinking my wheels are going back on this wednesday. The weather that appears to be coming our way doesn't look like it's going to dip too much below freezing except overnight, and anything that falls doesn't seem like the temperatures would be able to sustain it. Although I'm no weather man...

spring officially starts the 21st of March. I'm not sure how the weather has been in NJ, but if its been a decent temperature, not too cold, no snow, and doesnt look like it will be making a come back before spring. Throw them on. Keep an eye on the weather.
If you want to be absolutely safe, you could wait a couple of weeks till spring has officially started.

If its going to snow matty, I'd wait. the snow and such wont really damage the wheels or anything like that but I'm sure you want to not slide off the road or anything like that with the big wheels and the blower.

just got my rims today and put them on. Funny today was the warmest day of the year too as to why I picked today. It Reached 70 and I just read there is a winter storm watch for the area friday/saturday.

^^because the stuff he did not only makes the car look good, but it protects the paint from wear and weathering. Your car may look as good as his, but his will last longer in the end.

I guess to each his own...

Snow, huh, that's weird. We haven't gotten any snow here in a while. I could have left the ballin' rims on all winter(if I had any others besides the stock SE 16's), especially since our winter was over a month or so ago.
We've been using the a/c for 2 months, and it is getting hotter and MUGGYER by the day. Car is even getting slower.
good track times...
