Winter wheel time

[DutchVDub]

After the snow storm last week and talk of another this week I decided it was time to put on my winter wheels and get some decent snow tires. Discount is hooking me up on some Yokohama Ice Guard IG20's. I also decided that since my Ronal's were a bit beat up I should spray a coat of paint on them. Help hide the blemishes and keep them from showing dirt as easily. I went with some DupliColor Graphite Wheel Paint.

I'll post more pics tonight after I get the tires installed and mounted onto the car.
Anyone ever run the Yoko IceGuards before? Opinions?

So these tires have already proved their worth. We've already received about an in ch of snow and the roads are covered in a snow/slush mix. Judging by the other cars its fairly slick out there, but I wouldn't know as my car was cruising around like it was a warm summer day. I was actually having trouble getting my car to slide, it only did it once for me and that took quite a bit of throttle under boost in 2nd gear. We'll see how they do tomorrow when the slush and water on the ground turn to ice and I drive my unplowed county roads to work at 5am.
pics (sorry for the quality it was dark and snowing, will try for better ones tomorrow):

well, you've got the euro plate, all you need now are the stretched tires and maybe a hood painted to look rusty and you'll be a true VAG fan :laugh:
OH and a wire tuck

Don't confuse me with those dummies. The euro plate is because I'm actually from Nederland.

That wheel paint is tough stuff. I used it to paint my tank skid and hitch. It holds up well to everyday driving, but black is hard to find (Pepboys only).

The Graphite looks good on your car.

 

[YELLAHEEP]

Hmmmm, yeah, that red is "interesting"........ Looks like the car backed into a bucket of red paint........

To each their own. Must be an Audi-thing....... I don't understand.

 

[DutchVDub]

i think its more of a honda thing that sadly made it onto an audi
