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...

i'm waiting until end of March. it's always had the rep of being the snowiest month here in the midwest. no point in taking the chance. plus, there is still salt and sand on the roads; a real killer to wheels.

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.

^^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 didnt spend 2 full days detailing. I washed, dry, clay, SSR 2.5, Klasse AIO, Klasse SG. Then the next day after the SG set up, I did another coat of SG and a top coat of P21S. All in all I probably spent about 4 hours on it, if that.

Im going to have to disagree. Many guys do exactly what I do, Coats of Klasse and its expected to last about 6 months. Ive been doing this two day detail for about a year and half and ive done it hardcore about three times. Where I spend a good amount of time on it, and do a good job. This is the third time. Id rather get the deap shine out of the paint, then top coat with a good carnuba wax with NO cleaners in it.

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...
