    New England drivers, when do you switch back to summer mode?

    I am getting pretty sick of my steelies, I have been rocking them without hubcaps most of the winter, since the ones I have are cracked and look like shit, but either way I am sick of the look and sick of the “why do you have such a nice car with such crappy rims, U sHoUld TotAlLy Thew sUm DEeeeeZ oN TaT Bizznatch” comments, and even though I don’t have fancy aftermarket wheels I cant wait to get my stock 17s back on.

    But here in Mass the roads still look like crap, they are still full of sand, and the weather is still pretty cold, who knows it could still snow. I was just wondering when you guys generally switch back to your summer/nice wheels. I was going to do it this month but might wait until May now…

    I think you can do it now. I doubt they'll be any more snow. If there is, just put them back on for a day or two. Do whatever you think is right and fits your conditions.

    I put mine on 2 days ago. Hopefully it won't be snowing anymore. I also can't wait for them to sweep the damn streets, and fix some bumps and holes.

    I'd wait until the roads are swept, and the pot holes are repaired...you'll be hating life driving around with bent rims and popped tire!
