    Default When you guys throwing on your rims?

    With this weather, I am so tempted. Even though I know it's gonna snow again sooner or later. But I am seriously thinking about putting them on this week.

    i need some new tires, but i'll prob. get them on mid april after it rains once or twice and they've sweeped the streets. if the rims fairly expensive, i'd hold on a bit, too much gravel, rocks and shit around.

    I know I should wait till end of April - beginning of May but I think I'm just gonna do it tonight. At the very worst I will have to change them back once the snow hits again. But looking at Calgary's long range forecast, looks to be good for at least a week. But then again you never know. But yeah today the rims go on.....temporarily though

    Well, the best thing to do is throw them on if you're not too concerned about nics...but definitely watch the 5 day forecast over the next few weeks so you can throw the winter rims back on . I really wanna do it too!

    I'm itching to put mine on, but I know as soon as I do, we'll have blizzard conditions again. I hate having this kind of responsibility :tongue:

    it sure feels like time to put the rims on, but in this city you might only have them on for the week then have to change them back cause winters here again. im waiting till at least may to do it.
