when is everyone putting their winter wheels on?

[Martin_172]

as above, whens everyone who has winter wheels for their car putting them on?

was thinking about doing it today after seeing the state my turinis have got in the last week but not sure if its still a bit to early and will end up me driving about like a dick with 14" steelys on a nice hot day!!

 

[Justin]

na im not bothering

 

[oneeighttwo]

mine are already on! But they are also my summer, autumn and spring wheels!!

 

[tameracingdriver]

Ditto.

 

[Ollie82.]

Im toying with the idea of having a set of "winter" tyres, i.e fatter profile,50 or 55 maybe, deeper tread etc but not a set of "winter" wheels.

Then again i may just say feck it and skate my way, tentatively thru October to March!

 

[sh33n]

Never, haven't got any, well not yet anyway

I just want something darker to save the white ones!

 

[Ad]

^^ you need some with white weels as standard. lol

I put my winter roof on the VX yesterday if that counts, lol,

Yer I know, was thinking of some pro race 1.2s in black, but not sure if black is a bit too dark, would be much easier than cleaning the white ones all winter!

I've never seem the real point in winter wheels unless you have some crazy finish that tarnishes easily.

I had a set of 17" Wolfrace alloys on my 172 that I did 10,000 odd miles on through winter etc and they were fine, with just giving them a clean every week.

This was them when I sold the car............

 

[Timmay]

well i got 16' anthracties on mine - gonna leave it another month then put my standard dynamique 15's back on til about march time

 

[R20 CWH]

iv got anthracites which will be getting changed over mid october/ start november to avoid any crap pitting etc

 

[DynamiqueDebz]

I haven't got winter wheels, although I could use the original 15" alloys, but like Alex says, I don't see the point in it as long as you keep your wheels clean.

 

[steveV6]

I don't bother with winter wheels.....





.....because i don't drive my car in the winter:rasp:!


Its kept nice and snug in the garage under its blanket with the battery plugged into its trickle / top up charger:approve:

 

[Leeshez]

I hope they was put on when car was made lol

 

[Justin]

just out of interest, would mk1 RT wheels fit on my 182? got a set in the garage lol

 

[eo52vug]

I dont drive the cup in the winter months , all that salt on the roads .
end of october ill give it one last polish then its boxed up till summer !

 

[chiefsilverback]

Can I get 14" steel wheels to go on my Trophy?

 

[Steve]

[Englebert]

Can I get 14" steel wheels to go on my Trophy?

We don't have space savers in the Trophy! We hired a Kangoo to go to Le Mans and almost put but Turinis on it for comedy value!

 

[Dave_W]

Box your car till summer???

WTF get a grip

Its a car, its meant for driving, fine if it was an Aston, or Ferrari or something, but a clio i mean come on get a life!

 

[bmh.01]

Nope, 14s won't fit over the calipers iirc. Need 15s.

You'll be waiting a while, unless it ends up like the last one that is

I love my car, not more than my wife or girls, but I still love it. Its a peice of metal / plastic I know, but so is an Aston etc etc.. its what it means to me. If I want to rap it up for the winter months thats my business, its not harming you, can't see your problem really!?!?!?!

I also have a st200 mondeo , which i prefer to drive in the winter , much safer imo , the clio is my summer toy mate and its mint and i want it to stay that way !

I have a life thanks .

[steveV6]

Apparently not!!

 

[Brasseye]

put my good ones on the front last week........
Im all ready.. call it on !

 

[jayxx83]

Turning into the Golf boys. Some guys I know have 4 sets and the winter ones would put most normal alloys to shame, lol.

 

[Martin_172]

thinking of doing something mental like painting my 4 steelys bright green or bright orange.. not sure tho lol

problem is i cant be arsed washing my wheels every week when its cold, icey and wet so rather just put s**t wheels on that i dont have to care about, i do to many miles a week to just clean them once lol

 

[Russ.]

i have a univeral set of wheels to lol
