Took off the 19's and tossed on some winter wheels.
I couldn't get CL wheels, so I went with TSX wheels and tires. I got a really good deal. The don't look all that bad. I'll take some pics next time I clean the car. Those of you looking for wheels for the winter may want to look into the TSX forum.
Also, I need some recommendations on places to get one of my Axis Mods fixed in NJ.

 

I'm outta here, good luck with the winter bro

 

Good luck dodging those old granny florida drivers.

I have yet to take mine off. I'm waiting for the first reports of possible snow, or until potholes start getting bad.

 

Yeh...Try not to get beat off the line with some old guy in a wheel chair. Have a good time man.

I had one wheel that was leaking from the dent on it. It was a pain in the ass. I actually forgot what it was like driving a car with enough rubber so I don't feel every bump.

 

yes very depressing... but the car handles the potholes so much better with stockers.

 

took mine off last week, this sucks! But now I am rocking the gunmetal wheels, always have to be different at all times! I also was looking at the TSX wheels.

 

Winter? What's winter....

 

Mine are coming of this week... Can't take anymore chances cuz the weather pattern is changing here rapidly... Leaves are mostly all gone... Winter is breathing in rapidly up north

 

Way too early to talk about mounting snow tires....it was over 70 degrees today.

 

today was freak day, normally we freeze out asses off on halloween.

 

Try "Wheel Works" in Burlington, NJ

 

waiting for the last possible day to swap em out

 

I am too but it's depressing that I can't keep them as clean as I did when the weather was hot.

 

No way. I learned my leason with that one and was out in the cold cursing up a storm because I was was freezing my ass off.

 

Usually around this time of the year I get the snow tires down off the storage rack and make sure they are OK.
Check the air pressure and clean them up a bit.
I leave them down near the car ready for a quick change.

Then as soon as the weather guy predicts snow I’m all ready for a quick change which takes about 30-45 minutes.
I’m still debating if I should buy a new set of tires now.
This will be winter number FIVE for mine and they’re starting to wear quite a bit.
Unlike summer tires, once snow tires get past 50-60 percent wear they’re pretty much useless in the deep stuff.

 

lucky bastard

<---jealous of those who live in sun all year-round

 

Yeah I'm waiting until the last minute to swap my winter wheels + blizzaks on.

When it needs to happen it won't take me long.

 

Same here. No point in rolling on winter tires this early since, normally, it doesn't snow this early in November. I just wait for the first prediction, then swap them out the night before. No biggie... some gloves, hat... done in 30-40 minutes.... I like to ride on good tires as long as possible

 

Yup. I will rough it out and swap the tires before snow. I am waiting because it is too much fun to drive the CL aggressively in these temps. Once I get the snow tires on, I gotta take it easy.

 

So true. These cars (as do most) LOVE the cold weather. With the I/h/e combo.... still too much fun to fly.... therefore, waaay too early for snows

 

The EARLIEST I ever had to put the snows on was Thanksgiving weekend.
The LONGEST I ever went was the first week of January.
You just never know when the white shit will make its first appearance.

 

This is why you need to be rolling on stockers all year long.

Don't have to deal with the mental strain of taking them off.

 

Hold on now....that's just crazy talk.

 

You don’t have to worry about all those annoying onlookers either
Or putting up with all those complements.

Yea….that’s MUCH better……

 

with all the mods chap has done its a wonder why he has that crazy idea about stock rims and tires in his head

wait til he puts that car on good tires with a taller rim the handling and grip will blow his focking mind

 

lol

 

Please, every time i'm at a gas station filling up people are always like, "are those the 03 stock rims? Cuz they look hot."

I tell em you bet they are.
