Default My winter wheels... [pics]


I'm going snowboarding tomorrow and I had to throw on my old GSR wheels I have. I don't think my oem tires will make it on snow. Yes, it NEEDS to be lowered now that it has thinner tires on... thats the whole reason I haven't swapped the good tires on my gsr blades. My OEM tires tires are just about gone.



Took off my plate. with photoshop of course

It seems like some of you think I was switching to the bald tires. I put on the ones on the left. I so got owned in the snow. I knew they would suck but, the conditions up there were ******* horrible. I saw at least 10 crashed cars and big trucks in a 5 mile stretch. To top it off when we left there was about 6 inches of new snow plus a snow plow buried my car. haha.

Needless to say it was worth it since my car came back undamaged. I need to look into getting some cables.
