Nope, certainly ain't! I've driven from Fairbanks to Anchorage, (AK) with snow packed in my steel rims. It did not come out.
Somewhere I have a picture of snow/ice/dirty water buildup on my GP from a recent road trip. The centrifugal force created an amazing design on the rims spreading out from the lug nuts. It was like watching icicles form at 90* arcs. I'm sure you can imagine what it looked like. Anyways, it didn't fly off, it held on for about 350 miles, Denver to Northern WY. I'm sure it re-accumulated along the way, but I was watching it with my mirrors since Fort Collins, CO.
I'll see if I can find the pictures....
