Yeah i know what you mean, its nice to have things straight away, but with the weather how it is, the last thing you want is to slide into a curb with ur new wheels on anyway.... i take my summer wheels off at the beginning of nov, and they wont go on til march.... im just running 15" audi pepperpots, i dont care what he looks like in the winter as long as i know come show time i can get my lovely mint, shiney, undamaged 17s out the garage, unwrap them n stick them back on!! Its like getting new wheels every year!! haha.
