Winter wheels?
When i was in Germany back in the 80s cars had 2 sets of wheels: summer and winter.

Abso-darned-lutey, I put the stock silver rims and tyres on CHeWie for my (later, ill-fated) trip to Italy. Snow chains were a must and wouldn't fit the 195/45/16s on the O.Z. Ultraleggeras, anyway. I had 180 Euros worth of wine nicked from the apartment's underground garage, too!

Now that's a classic Abarth GT, including the "official" 5-spoke rims. But, where are the red Abarth centre caps? And the Abarth rear bumper? I do like the blues on GTs, although I prefer my Rialto Blue to the Midnight Blue... just a little.

I didn't have the rear bumper fitted as i had a novitec rear centre exhaust and they're not "official 5-spoke rims" they are 16" TSW Stealths with 215 tyres unheard of in todays punto world, **** loads of grip round corners mind had to have the arches cut.

We now own a Rialto Blue GT (diggergt's old car) but still prefer the midnight blue slightly

Ah, I see my mistake about the rims. My apologies. Yours are slightly concave etc. compared to the "official" ones:



So, you've diggergt's Rialto Blue one? A lovely looking example.

Yeah very happy.I've done some stuff to it already, replaced the tank as i could smell petrol, it's had a complete underseal treatment by these guys http://www.rustmaster.co.uk/ and i've replaced the rad and intercooler (pace smic) and a full service got to fit my eibach springs and bilstein shocks as 60mm is to low for me.

We have winter here too.
And i live near the mountain and sometimes snow.
This year it snowed a lot (iḿ used too due to be raised in Germany).

But we don't have to change tires.
We use the same tires and wheels all the time.

I thought in alot of eastern wuropean countries winter tyres were legislation, so it makes sense to just have two sets of wheels.

Luckily in the UK our weather has to be extreme to say the least to leave us needing anything but an all year tyre.

My F1 Asymetrics are brill in the dry, but insanely good in the wet and just a laugh in the snow lol.
