I feel your pain. I am in the same boat. I took my 18in C2s off last week for the winter. Not the same once you get used the bigger wheel, plus the way they look also. March is only a few months away.

Yeah I did this like a month ago. What kills me is when we have a nice clear day and everyone else has there wheels on and my car is clean but I say damn I wish my wheels were on. But then on days like today when its cold as hell and snowing I look at all the retards with there big rims stuck in the snow slidding around and tearing them up on potholes and road salt and I say im glad mine are in the guest room. lol!

I feel you!! I just took off my nice OEM 17" Type S chromes and put my 16" TL-p wheels on with snow tires. It looks better this year since I recently dropped the car, but damn it looks funny. Sometimes I wonder if I should just put the chrome back on since I have another commuter car, but it always snows when I have the Acura out or on a trip. Plus, they use sand here for the roads and the rocks just tear up wheels, so I need to resist the urge!!! Arggghhh..give me Florida anyday!
