So I have a new set of AR crush wheels (chrome) and since I mortgaged the house to buy them I want to keep them looking as good as possible. What kind of care is necessary, especially in the winter? I bought some wheel cleaner and polish with them and was told that if I use it once a month that should be enough. I also thought I heard somewhere that drive-thru car washes are bad for the wheels. Is that true? I live in WI where the winters and roads can be pretty bad and are pretty much covered in salt-water for 3 months out of the year, but I really don't want to have to be out cleaning and polishing my wheels every week in 10 degree weather. Thanks in advance for the help!!

Check under wheels and tires section

 

Kidding, right????

Sounds like a set of factory, winter rims, would be in order, so you don't have to worry about your expensive one's.

 

Yea, kidding about the mortgage. $1200 for wheels is just a little more than I want to throw by the wayside this winter if the salt is going to eat them up.

 

i deff. wouldnt leave them on during the winter. especially if they salt the roads in your area.

 

does not sound like too bad of a price, I paid a grip for the AR 20's I put on, alot more than 1,500 bucks.

 

Even if I polish and wax them once a month they won't survive the winter?

 

What do they do up North with factory chrome wheels in the winter?
