the salt is going to eat the wheels anyway so just buy whatever will
fit on the car, I wouldn't spend $$$$ on nice winter wheels.

Reason #1 why my car hasn't and won't see snow.

My car sees snow every time I open the garage to get out the snow blower.

Now touching snow, now that's another story...

heck i'd be willing to bet most of you guys will find rust on your car now even if you don't drive it in the winter - open the trunk and look at the rubber stops - the S always seems to rust right there

I wash the S every few days in the winter. I probably won't have it more than a few years anyway so I am not too too concerned about rust.

my winter beater has very little rust, one small spot on the hood but the
wheels are destroyed from the New England winters.
