OE+ Wheels Wheel model
OE+ Wheels Winter alloy wheels
Winter alloy wheels refer to the use of a second set of alloy wheels dedicated to winter, particularly relevant in Quebec. Rather than remounting the winter tires each season on the summer wheels (which wears the tires and damages the beads), you dedicate a complete set to the winter tires. An OE Wheels replica with the right fitment makes an excellent candidate: reasonable price, clean look, direct fit. The major issue in winter is corrosion due to road salt and calcium: you should favor a robust finish (powder coat, silver, or hyper silver) rather than fragile chrome, and rinse the wheels regularly. Alloy remains lighter and more aesthetic than steel, but steel remains a more economical and indestructible alternative for those who prioritize raw durability. Check the offset for brake clearance and the vehicle's TPMS compatibility.
