when to put rims back on????

i'm so tempted to slap my 18s back on the whip cause it just looks nasty riding the 15" steelies with the hubbies. it just seems to be getting nicer and nicer out there. anyone know when it would be a good time to put them back on, any more snow predicted for the northeast?? suggestions , comments, opinions all welcomed.
here is a pic of the car wit the rims on

i've seen it there pretty close to the back of the parking lot. well i have a 98 3.0CL black on black but the unfortunate thing is that i got rearended like 2 weeks ago so i don't have my car. i'll probably be in best buy this weekend or during the week. if i see your car i'll see if i can find you. its cool though to have another RI guy on the forum.

There may not be anymore snow, but there are still tons of potholes and sand and salt up here, is it really worth it? I would hold out till the streets get cleaned up personally.

You guys going to the NED or F1 meets?

i'll do that. that sounds like my dad. he's 42 and has a 04tl and he is always on 95 or 195 since is office is off of 195. i was in the car with him one day on 195 pushging 140mph or more and then he takes my car one day and does 130mph in it. he's a car nut like most of us on here and he is not afraid of shit and he can drive plus he knows all the cops up there so it's not a big deal to him so he gets off of all the speeding tickets he gets.

OKAY!! You say your dad is 42 and drives at 140 mph! Sad to say but that sounds a bit immature on his part. What kind of role modeling is that? He may not be scared of shit today and may know some cops to let him off the hook but the dreaded day might not be far away when as a result of his speed fix he may kill some innocent person trying to safely get home to his family. Who is gonna save daddy then? Just pathetic IMO. Come on people! we drive nice "sporty" family sedans not race cars so please be responsible. It's nice to know the car is capable of such feats but it is after all a lethal weapon as well.

he doesn't do it all the time. just every once in a while when he gets the chance or an asshole is fucking with him. he's as cool as ice. i trust him. i've been in a porsche 911 twin turbo with him which is my cousins which he went faster then 140. it's not like he'll keep going 140 the whole way down, he brings it up there and brings it back down but he'll only go that fast if there is no one on the road. when it comes to cars my dad likes to have fun. he tried to keep up with a vet and a cadillac on the highway. he was with them until 120 then they took off from him. he knows his limits and how fast he can go turst me. he's been in a lot of car accidents back when he was younger and now knows his limit. i know the tl is a "sporty" family sedan but it does have some balls.
