Default SNOW!

Today is a snow in NC on my way to work this morning I lost control of my car (I was only going 20mph) on a side road (unsalted by the state). I managed to avoid crashing into a light pole, and barely scrapped the side of my car on some bushes.

The good part is I avoided going through a house because my longtubes hooked the curb and helped in the stopping process lol.

The bad is that I ruined my front driver side rim.

The question is should I buy another 10th anni cobra rim or upgrade to saleens or frs?

Damn! I'm in SC and it looks like we got about 5 inches so far. I didn't move south for this! Too bad you had to drive your mustang in this weather. Mine is staying in the garage today. I really can't give you any advice on the wheels. Sorry.

You guys in the south have more snow than we do here in PA.
Buy whatever wheels you want for your car.

Maybe a set of snow tires with those new rims?
Even if you dont need them(you may be a skilled driver) its still a "peace of mind" investment

I 2nd the vote for 10th aniv. wheel or beater wheel. It's still winter, if you upgraded, you would not get to enjoy the looks as much. I'd save$$ unless you don't intend to upgrade.
