Winters Coming

How many of you guys take off your aftermarket wheels in the winter? I have a pair of Cast Black wheels and i'm wondering if that kind is ok to leave on?

well, if you have an extra set to use, then i would recommend it..... where do you live? what kind of treatment do the roads get in the winter? i live in Alaska, and i have wheels that have a 3 year finish warranty, and just one winter here killed them.... so needless to say, they are going back in for exchange.

I live in NH, and the roads get treated with sand and salt. I Just figured the black wheels would be ok vs other types of wheels.

I only have stock wheels on my 08 but I'm going to get two xtra wheels and a good pair of snow tires to swap.
