Salt Corrosion
Remove your wheels for the winter.
The winter season can subject your wheels to road salt causing pitting of your wheels finish. Weather conditions also make it more difficult to wash your wheels on a regular basis. This may lead to a much shorter than normal wheel life expectancy. The best possible option for Custom Wheels in severe winter climates is the use of OE or snow wheels with winter tires.
Perform regular maintenance
However, if you choose to run your Custom Wheels through the winter months, it is very important to exercise a regular maintenance program.
Many of the towns here in the Northeast use salt on the roads during snow and icy conditions. These elements can be very caustic and can corrode the metal parts on your vehicle, including the wheels. For best protection against corrosion, wash your vehicle thoroughly once a week, but at a minimum, once a month. This simple practice will aid in the prevention of pre-mature wear on the vehicle's finish and your custom wheels.
