Well I don't have the job of that this winter. But next Winter I'll have to since I'll be getting a set of summer rims and larger tires for summer driving. But where I live I'd be switching the stockers back on in early November. It tends to get unpredictable here around that time - for example, it's going to snow tonight and tomorrow.

Well you're safe until they start salting the roads - my front drivers side wheel is pretty nasty looking from all the salt and snow packed in the spokes from last winter. Maybe next summer when they're off the car I'll sand them down and repaint them.

I'm storing my 06 this winter and driving my Dad's truck. I may eventually get a set of winter rims for my 06 if I can't get away with storing it, i.e. a second vehicle available and garage space. I had always wanted a winter set for my 03.
