Whell guys winter is coming, and for me its coming fast. Its time to start taking off my custom wheels, and let my car spend some time in storage. It is best for all you guys to get those snow tires ready. and i dont want to hear about some ruined wheels.

One thing great about living in Georgia, but not in the mountains. We are lucky to get snow once a year, and that is less than a 1/4". If it's more than that, or any at all, everything shuts down anyway :D

It's like that in NC also. The schools shut down when there's the threat of snow.

and if u live in a country/city that snows like a bitch, u really don't wanna have rims on cuz of the salt on the road. besides, dirty rims aren't happy rims!
but yah, i envy most of u guys, u get to store ur accord during winter. i have to drive mine. and share with the whole family! argh.... stupid bmw is stored all year round 24/7 and it's still stock!!! OMG, if i could only replace the air filter, it'll be up to 200hp.

when you take off big wheels and put smaller ones on... you are goin to performance... not from performance. with the big wheels and my lude tranny... i lost so much accel and gas mileage took a shit... its also cuz my carb took a shit as well. oh well WEBER is here today... well yesterday... any way... good things happen in winter.. last year i dropped and put in LUDE seats... and i also bought it last fall so i hope for sweet things this year!
