Winter wheels, who runs them?

[Louis]

Going for tracking tomorrow and having just got new tyres on my 2118s I'm wanting to run these. However it's not the best time coming into winter! I was just wondering how many people do run winter wheels?
I was just going to keep on top of cleaning my alloys and making sure they're sealed properly.

Advice?

I wouldnt bother mate, just seal/wax them and keep the salt and s**t off them, they will be fine if you keep on top of them.

I swap between 172 alloys and my f1s in summer an winter

I swap wheels all the time but yeah try to avoid using my 'pretty' ones over winter

Im not really worried about the alloys over winter, like you say just make sure they are sealed and cleaned now and again. They will be absolutely fine come spring.

Unless theyre unprotected diamond cut rims or whatever theyll be fine, they're wheels for goodness sake!

I have winter wheels - have done for years - but they have proper winter tyres on.

Changing wheels for the sake of keeping your other ones clean seems a bit tedious... It's a road car, not a priceless DB5.

main reason I don't run my pretty wheels over winter is more to do with grit being flung up and chipping the paint tbh

Same, plus I like the change up of the look of the car.
