I would definitely be interested in seeing that. I would probably try it out depending on ur results. I let u take this one because i wouldn't know where to start. The lack of a garage and time would also be a problem for me, at least during the winter months.

I just installed my winter tires. These are what the wheels look like, but the rims of mine are painted black:



Does anyone think i would benefit from coroplast wheel covers on them?
