    After market rims and tires on winter time

    Hello everyone. :)

    I have an after market 17” rims with a Yokohama AVS ES100 radial Ultra High Performance Summer tire on it and I would like to know what are the consequences of keeping them on in winter times?

    Thanks and happy holidays to all. :wink:

    Thanks for the info but I was more concerned of my aftermarket rims. Would the salt mess it up? :?

    you should definitely swap your aftermarket rims to stocks for the winter. I just took mine off. I got 18 inch chromes and past experience tells me that salt eats the shit out of the chrome.
