Hey, first and foremost, has anybody had problems changing tires when having fibre glass sideskirts? It's a concern that was raised by someone at a shop awhile ago, i don't really foresee any problems..

Second of all, do they make lo-pro winter tires? I'm thinking about leaving the chromies on for the winter, I'm supposed to change the tires tomorrow though so I need to make up my mind on which rims to go with, the stock hubbies, old rims, or the new ones...

Thanks!

What size tire do you need? The BMW guys are switching over their 18inch wheels, I don't think they have a winter tire for a 19inch rim? If that's what you have......:dunno:

Wheels are only 18 inch, any idea how much winter rubber will cost?

Hakk, the winter here'll eat your chrome up. bite teh bullet and deal with the "uncool" rims for the winter :D then have clean, flawless pimpers for the spring. Get the Dunlop Graspic DS-1 (or 2) and you'll be happy. They aren't that much $$ and they grip ice and snow like a mawfugga.

Hakk go with stock hubbies. I've switchd to my stock rims which have my winters, and already they have taken some damage from minimal riocks out there....besides, if they get even more damaged, u;d feel better about having stockers on besides your :bigpimp: rims :thumbsup:

as for which kind of winters to go with, i;m not too sure, i love my artic alpines, but i'm sure their is better out there, just depends on ur budget :)
