i wouldn't put them on until we get well enough rain to have washed all the salt off the roads for good.

Go for it. I just put the summer rims on my daily driver today. If there's gonna be any more snow or salt, it won't be a lot. Just make sure you wax the rims good before you put them on...then you'll be fine.

im very optimistic...with the winter we have had..im thinking its not totally over yet..im thinking we are gonna get one more big blast (i really hope we dont, but i think we may)

alot of people are bringing their cars out now and in my opinion..is still too early..but..its up to you..

just make sure you keep those snypers clean man...cuz once they start to go..you cant stop them..thats the bad thing about the ROH brand..

go to your local tire shop..they should have something...its not a "wax" more a polish...american racing has a good one..(thats what i use) its about $20 or so..even go to canadian tire if you need to..

and use a soft non abrasive cloth to take it off..different applications require different methods to apply and take off the polish..just read the directions and youll be fine!!

Just regular car wax will do. If it's safe for your paint it will be safe for your rims.
