fat_controller Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 i have just put on some volks GT-7's and just wondering if these are ok during the winter and what special care i have to take care of them? every1 seems to put another set of rims on for the winter, thing is i only use my car at weekends and even then i only do about 50miles a week. are winter wheels really worth it?

DamanC Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Depends how often you want to wash them? My BBS LM's are going to stay on over the winter months, and will only take her out if its a nice dry day. I have a van for the crap weather.

supradibbs Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 i only used my racing harts during the summer never when it rained etc and would wash them off after every drive and i mean every drive and they were close to mint as they could be but not perfect these wheels are sexy as hell but very very high maintance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 If your going to use them in the winter, you need to wash them every day or the salt will corrode them. Wayne's wheels still looked brand new even though he used them everyday in the winter because he cleaned them all the time. Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat_controller Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 i might sell them for the right price gaz, they've got the slightest little marks from where they got caught in the tyre fitting machine but other than that there mint, u can't even see the marks when the tyres are on. i got them fitted on saturday and i'm really torn between these volks and my pacifics.
