Oh, I see.

I still vote for stock. Like others said, it will draw less attention to yourself.

This thread actually just reminded me of my friends E46 which he just had detailed and threw on new CSL reps. When we came back after lunch we found someone had keyed "fuk u" on the hood and spilled what looked like soda all over the car. Mind you this was in broad daylight. Needless to say he was devastated and its interesting to note a newer white C300 was parked only a couple of spaces away.

Just be careful out there

I have 2 reasons:

1. Roads in Central NY SUCK.
2. Salt pits chrome extremely fast.

Leave the rims home, or throw Style 87s on (I'm partial to 87s though).

Leave them on and enjoy your possessions.

Shit may happen but probably wont. If some d-bag wants to scratch your car they will probably do so whether you have the wheels or not.

keep the stock wheels on. there will be plenty of haters(those who want, and those who cant stand them) who will do anything for a laugh with their stupid friends

Put the stocks back on and sell those chrome things. Makes the X look cheap. just my personal opinion but I never like chrome wheels. I think it looks better on the stock wheels. if you want to make it look better get a set of the OEM 19's or 20's. will look classy and more aggressive but not so "standoutish"

I say roll the rims..Thats why you have rims..I rolled 20's all day all year including at school..Sure tons of haters, but mainly gawkers...Again, you have the rims..use them.

You're going to need winter wheels in Ithaca. The hills and potholes will prob kill those rims.
