Let's see your winter mode!
It's about that time of year. I'm going to be raising my coilovers and putting on my winter wheels probably next weekend. Just curious to see what your setups look like.

I just plasti dipped my winter wheels. Probably not everybody's cup of tea I'm sure, but I think they turned out great.

Yikes those are some unattractive wheels even for a winter setup. I got a pair of 04-06 TL stockies with Blizzaks for my winter setup. Nothing too impressive to photograph.

Interesting. Last car I had that was even close to as low as my TL got stuck several times. I'm guessing you guys probably get worse snow than we do here in Ohio too. Maybe I'll leave it where it's at for now and raise it if I get stuck once. Then again, I'd rather not bet my bumper covers on it. We'll see.

I don't have one. That may change next year. I am considering getting A-Spec wheels when these tires are done and using the stock set as a winter setup.

that was actually a shot of my car from the side which was not damaged, a guy who lives in my complex hit my car and moved it about 3 spaces and then left, and when my father discovered it and called the police as the cop was filing the police report the man who did it stepped forward. if you could see the other side of my car, it was trashed. it was dumped that low because previously i had let some retard do my coilovers, it obviously isn't sitting like that anymore, i never drove it when it was that low, the only way my car was getting around was special tow trucks that could tow the car.

IMO For stock wheels the base 04-06 ones really aren't that bad. They sure do seem pretty light for stock wheels I think.

Quit hating on winter and rock those stockers. lol
