Winter Look Pix 6sic6

[6sic6]

Threw the steelies on for the winter... I usually just leave my car in the garage through the winter but, with plans for buying another car I'm not real worried about driving the civic through the winter. Looks totally different without my rims. Oh, I jacked it up another inch too, good ole teins. My digi's battery died or I would have gotten some front shots. Oh well.

Oh dear lord no...

 

[RiceGirl]

I'm so glad I don't have to worry about putting on steelies this year.. w00t... 8)

Oh dear lord no...

It's actually kind fun to drive this way though.... I'm not as worried about the car at all.

 

[Rand0m]

haha, the tires look like balloons

 

[Mr. Lin]

They don't even look like they have any writing on them

They do and I kick myself in the ass for not knowing what they are. lol. I'm not driving it today or I'd go check it. They're really good tires though, nice grip.

ha.. i really *should* do this... but i'm prolly not gonna. that would require gettin new tires for my steelies... and mouting/balancing them. yea.. screw that, i will stay home from work if weather sucks. i need to fix my cluster lights first.. thats gonna be a PITA.

My rims made it through last winter unscathed, so I expect this winter to be no different.

I don't mind it, looking back i would have invested the money in a turbo instead of rims. But, I don't think my car would look anywhere near as good as it does. I probably would have tore it up by now.

i'll never know what that feels like, i live in florida, always a :sings: bright 'n' sun shiny daaaayy.........that is until december rolls in, right be4 xmas it gets like betwen 20-40 degrees, so cold you can break your nipples off.

Nice man! They look good??!! Yeah, as shity as the roads are around here, not a bad idea at all.
and on a side note...did I tell ya, I busted up my new tsunami front! Yeah, it's f**ked. I was heading out to game 2 of the NLCS about two weeks ago, and some lady decides to come to a complete stop in the middle of the road! Got a ticket and f**ked up bumper for a little 10 mph fender bender!

i care less about the condition of my rims, and more about my actual road-going capabilities. kumho 712s arent all season tires. they're the sucks in snow. they make do in wet good enough.

if i were to do it, i would get all seasons, or snow tires.

 

[bmyers4321]

im ont gonna laugh cause i have to do the same thing. i feel your pain man. but it is fun to drive with them on you can turn so much faster without any worries

 

[6sic6]

you can turn so much faster without any worries

yep...
My wife even noticed how much more careless I am in the car with the steelies on than my rims. 8)

 

[bmyers4321]

lol it is fun having the steelies on.

 

[6sic6]

lol it is fun having the steelies on.

funny though my car's still gettin just as many looks from 16 yr olds...
I'm gonna have to put my rims back on before I tear it up though.
