I was able to have my summer tires mounted up today which of course means it'll snow tomorrow, lol.

I'm about to switch mine out too. curious, do you use the OEM wheels as your winter set, or just swap tires?

I have a set of 17" mustang GT wheels for my winter set. it's nice to keep the salt off the adrenalin wheels to keep the corrosion at bay..
 






My stock rims have some light curb damage from the previous owner so they're the second best set I have for the STA - there's no salt used in Alberta & I'm kinda **** about keeping vehicles clean, even in the depths of winter.

Right now the stock rims are sitting in bags with the winter rubber mounted up, ready for the change in seasons.

It's a good job I'm OCD enough to have wanted to take the rims off & align the centre caps properly. After just 60km only 6 lug nuts were still as tight as they should be. Glad I didn't wait until 100km to check them, might have lost a wheel :(
