I keep mine all winter. Even if I wanted to switch them, I don't have my stocks. Oh yeah, that, and I live in San Diego. NY is tight, but I can't stand the cold weather, well only for about 2 weeks...

yeah
it was like 50 degrees in NY today

I have a second set of rims, but no tires for them..
and i have my stock 16s with crappy Goodyears... I am kind of in the midst of looking at some 17s with good all season tires... I do not plan on driving in snow, ever.

it might get cold where some people are, but it still doesn't snow... it is still a good idea to take off those 17s and 18s with performance rubber... because it is not meant to be driven in low temperatures.. their traction and normal cabilities decrease drastically.. you are better off with some crappy rims and mediocre all season tires...

Keeping the rims on my Honda and Nissan, because I'll be gone all winter(3 mos) in Kuwait. At least my toys won't get any mileage or into any fender benders...

Now the wife and her truck are a different story.

I love your rims on the Max. I was going to get them myself for my max but I decided to get some 19's. I wish they came in 19 they look better than I imagined. Good job with some original rims. I tried to see some pictures on your homepage but it's asking me for a user i.d. and a password?

Re: Hey Zam!

neverdat: Thanks for the kind words. I fixed the page. Sorry for the plain old index style picture layout. I'm currently playing with a new thumbnail setup...


NYCe MaXiMa: Pics are on my site. They are 18X8 Mille Miglia Imperas with Kumhos Ecsta Supras.

I've just added several pictures...

Cheers,
Zam
