You’ve definitely heard of winter tires but did you know that there’s such a thing as winter rims too? It’s important to realize the relationship between winter weather and tires but did you also know that cold weather is actually pretty rough on wheels? Slippery wet and icy roads means vehicles tend to skid and lose control, striking curbs and other objects that scratch, dent and scuff. Road clearing chemicals like salt also wreak havoc on the thin protective coating on most wheels.
