the only reason i would use winter wheels on ym car is for the fact that i couldnt be arsed cleaning them every few days to keep them looking nice, and especially with painted wheels.

i got my rl7's with the car when i bought it, at the time they were making them still. You cant get them anymore at all as the company went out of business, so i really wanna keep them in tip top condition. Personally i see nothing wrong with having different wheels for when it is snowing and icy especially when they cost very little.

its only polished surfaces that you want to worry about. Cheap wheels (less than £200 each) will be fine.

i just found it was hard to keep the white alloys clean so decided to buy my cheap alloys with good tyres. plus i dont have to worry about cleaning the gsi's when its freezing . Any mishaps sliding into any kerbs also wont involve expensive reconditioning also
