Winter Wheels On and winter prep done (pics inside)

Micael · 12-14-2011, 11:37 PM

Finally mounted my snow setup ( style 189 wheels mounted on Bridgestone Blizzaks LM-25 non RFT.) Also did a "winter prep detail" to protect from the nasty road salt. This is my first rwd car and I'm very curious to see how it'll handle in the snow. Anyways, enough talk and on to the pics. . .

Sorry for the bad cell phone quality pics. .

CJ421 · 12-15-2011, 09:56 AM

Looks great! I went with an almost identical setup - OEM 18" rims and Blizzak LM-60. I am RWD as well.

thanks everyone for the compliment!

Micael · 12-15-2011, 10:25 PM

I wasn't too crazy about the staggered setup (225/35/18 rears) but the blizzaks were given to me by a customer and it had 10/32nds left so I couldn't put them to waste. Anybody here have experience with a staggered snow setup??

its some sort of paint protection that most detailers apply, its suppose to help protect the paint during the "salt abuse" in the winter. .

Masheen · 12-18-2011, 11:54 AM

Really nice car !! Love the color

Also had mine prepped for winter. Called Ditec

PeteW84 · 12-18-2011, 11:56 AM

That's one clean lookin' car you got there.

SilverII · 12-18-2011, 12:28 PM

Park2670 · 12-18-2011, 12:35 PM

I've got my winter tires on but have not done a detail yet. Your d is looking great!

flip4335 · 12-18-2011, 12:36 PM

My "winter prep detail" consists of garage door closing...until the spring...LOL

J/K

Great setup and nice color.

I prefer the square setup of skinny tires plowing through snow banks after drifting into them...

chris b. · 12-18-2011, 12:58 PM
