    Question on winter and rims...

    So I have Drag rims on my accord, they have a chrome lip with gunmetal centers...IS there any particular thing I should do for winter, will the salt from the roads affect the coloring of the rim? Just a little concerned because I paid alot of money for them, and don't have good enough tread on stock wheels to throw them back on...

      Wash them regularly, wax them and polish the chrome lip occasionally to take care of any minor oxidation that may occur. After a good storm, be sure to wash them immediately to get any salt residue off of them. As long as you're taking care of them at least once a week you shouldn't run into any problems.

        is there any way you can get steelies for the size of tires?

        Plus if those are you good rims, what type of tires do yo uhave on them? Probably Summer? If so youd bee better of with at least all-seasons, and it might be worth investing into somthing better. You dont wanna protect them from salt and then end up hitting a curb in them

            Just save up for some all seasons, then uring the summer you can have a full size spare if you want.

                yeah like everyone said, get winter/snow specific tires, they'll be alot safer in those conditions. Your Drag wheels are prob. 17's or bigger and those tires dont have any place in icy/snowy conditions. Do the smart thing, get your stockies, and mount some winter rubber on there. You and your car will appreciate the added traction
