winterize your car

[RaYrAy]

did anyone else here replace their rims with stock steelies or raised their coil-overs back up?

I haven't yet.....i've just been procrastinating...

In Cali, i never heard of anyone doing that for winter. Why do you guys do that, just curious.

 

[RaYrAy]

when it snows here the state spreads salt on the roads to melt the ice. It's great for traction, but bad for aluminum wheels.
Also, the snow here can get pretty deep, if your car is dumped you now have a big honda snowplow!

Oh I see.... I was wandering why the folks from over there and other places were talkin about raising up the rides and rolling on steelies.

yupyup, well now you know......and knowing is half the battle!

first off, what the hell does 'Oh bah' mean? I have never heard you use that....

secondly, it's to cold out to be cleaning my rims as religiously as I did over the summer.....besides, i don't see YOU ever helping me clean them......okaaaay huuuuuuuuhhhhhh!

I still have my rims on and prob wont take then off a wash my ride once a week and its garage kept. Plus I bus it to work so I only drive the car on the wwekends. And I'm f**king lazy!!!

People over exaggerate about salt on the roads in the winter. Your rims will be fine as long as you're not being a retard and slidding into the sides of curbs.

Plus it's a Honda, who cares?
