don't forget potholes, thats also a major reason why most of us take our rims off....at least in my area, theres NO way those rims could make it through the winter without getting bent like hell

besides, i don't even know how he could drive his car in the snow, considering how low the thing is

I'm in Roseville about 10 minutes from d'town Minneapolis.

This winter I will take off my wheels, raise the car up, and get it re-aligned.

I do not have a camber kit, I probably should, but so far I haven't noticed too bad of uneven tire wear..

I won't run these wheels in the winter, I paid too much, also I would have to find 19" low profile snow tires I doubt they are made...

And yes, I hate the potholes here in MN, Every time I hit one I cringe and wonder if I bent a rim

Thanks for the comps. guys..

Yo VTECHUMP, where abouts roseville do you live? Also, how are u driving around wiht your front plates off or did you take them off for the pictures. I would love to take my front plates off but MN police are sticklers about it....its makes our car look so much cleaner on the front end though . I live in the northern suburb of Brooklyn Park, but my parents are moving to Bloomington after my sis graduates from hs...we should meet up sometime next summer...im away at college right now..

None, still trying to justify paying $380 plus paint for it

I guess I've been lucky with the front plate thing. I've had no front plate on my last 2 cars and cops haven't seemed to mind (jinx).... I'm always down for a meet anytime...

How many clicks do you raise your Teins for the winter?...Just curious... I am looking into getting springs or coilovers and the notion of being able to adjust ride height is important for car a in MN...this might make me lean more towards coilovers

I raise the front all the way and the rear to match, I can snap a pick for you if you'd like. I have very little problem driving at this height all winter... I did hang the car up in my driveway over the weekend though, damn street plow trapped me in my driveway with about a foot and a half of snow....I can't wait till winter is over......

Clean. I remember checking them out when the pics first posted. Nice to get refreshed. I would be nice to see the contrasting look between the "winter setup" and the "rest of the year" setup!
