I have that style steel wheels with snow tires I use for the winter, minus the center cap. I am looking for the old baby moon style center caps for mine.

Well, you probably want to get somthing else to drive with in the winter, you dont wanna get your nice ones all bloched. I dont think thatll look bad on a white car either.

Just store your good ones in a safe place, there is a guy around here with a red monte. He got some really expensive rims all custom made with gold plated trim then bought some regualr steelies for winter. His good ones got stolen(while they were in storage) and now he been driving on the steelies since the beginning of winter

Man that is harsh! luckily where i live, theft is pretty uncommon... even so i still store them in my house and have had em in the corner of my bedroom once or twice. that way if someone wants em they will have to go through me to get em! haha

Get a good piece of glass, stack rims, put down a thick piece of rubber cut to fit on top of the rims, put glass on top, Instant coffee table
