Just checking to see what everyone does with their wheels in the winter, Do you put stock/snow tires on or keep it custom? I got 22" chromes coming in 2 weeks and am dying to put them on, Just dont want them to get ruined by the salt. I read about people using wheel wax/vaseline or just wiping them down weekly.

You def wanna run some stock/snows for the winter. One slip into a curb, or a nasty pothole will make you pull your hair out. What car are you putting the 22's on?

I'd definitely agree and say use stock/snow wheels for the winter. Salt would harm the chrome and may degrade its quality. The wheel wax would help, but there's still a good chance of the salt damaging the wheels. Wheel wax helps more on keeping brake dust off the wheels because there's a layer of protection, while salt is just an actual piece that can harm/scratch the wheels.

I'm putting the 22's on my LS460....I figured the best thing to do is wait, I was just hoping there was something I could do. It seems like salt is the real killer here. Thanks!
