i suggest just putting the stock ones back on in the winter. yeah your car will look cool as its driving throught the snow, but it ruins the rims. That and usually rims like these usually have performance tires that are worthless in the snow.

Yuck. Honestly, tell him to go to the yard and drop $200 on steelies and get some decent tires, anyone who drives around in the winter with rims on is a fool, myself included. You'll find yourself in a ditch, or worse yet, a tree.
