We're going to start doing a "snow-dance" to hurry you to get the wheels on the car. Need pictures!! :redXdance :redXdance :redXdance

PS - The three dancers with the "X" are naked, so I covered them up to be in compliance with the forum.

It snowed 5 inches of snow just 30 min from me. The wind was out of the nothwest enough to just miss us. In fact just 10 min from me there was 2.25 inches. We only got snow but nothing stuck. Friday we are looking a temp between 60-70.

Got to love the snow belt. It can be nothing or 12 inches in less than 40 miles.

We had snow all day in central NJ, but it was too wet to stick. North Jersey and the Poconos got a few inches. I'm still nervous about taking the SS out in the snow. But I don't have the money/time to get winter rims/tires.

I drove my HHR L2 all Winter on the Firestones that it came with and it was great in the snow. You should have no problem at all. I just went to snows for this year as my wife feels better with studded snows.

I may cut some red inlays for the bow ties.



Once I put these on my Black SS I will post a new photo.
Very cool! When do we get to see them on the car? G.B.

I cut some red bow ties for the caps. I Photo shopped this but they came out just like this.

How did you winter wheels hold up??
I'm looking for a similar retro look for my '06 Spring Edition
In red, of course
