Snow chains aren't allowed here in OH from what I've been told. I'm wondering how that's determined? Can you feel the chains when you're driving?

My one and only experience was with chains in the late 70's or early 80's. They were the old style and not the cable-chains. Over about 20mph I thought I was going to shake out my fillings! The right rear chain broke and tore up the quarter panel pretty good!

What's the best and cheap? OEMs cost 100s $. Can you recommend something and if you possibly have a link?

New wheels coming today....

similar to my vorsteiners, but i couldn't get the finish i wanted in my vorsteiners...so decided to buy vossen vfs1 in a brushed clear finish..

i will be refinishing my Vorsteiners and putting them up for sale....(they have some curb rash)

this is the look i was going for....they are very similar, but i realized when started looking for new wheels, i liked the clean classy elegant look of this style...

This finish will POP more against the the grey....

the big diff though will be the VFS1's will be mild concave upfront where my vorsteiners were flat...

more pics to come...

Yep, my spring paint correction project is just around the corner too. After my last trip to the ski hill, then it's time to put the summer wheels back on, then remove the crud on the paint with a little bit of clay bar, and then do a once-over with a mild polish if necessary. I might even re-apply some ceramic coating, which I need to do in at least two areas that had fresh bodywork and paint applied last summer thanks to some nasty railroad tracks in one instance and careless movers in the other.

Front bumper mildly crumpled due to front end slamming into a raised railroad track. Fixed with new metal underneath, a bit of heat on the bumper to reshape, and some fresh paint.

Front fender scored due to mover hitting the loading ramp on the left side with wheel, tire, and fender. In fact, the tire was shredded and needed replacement, the wheel and two of its brothers were scored and needed repair, and the fender was scored and needed bodywork. Fixed at a local body shop.

One of the three wheels damaged. The other two were probably damaged by strap-downs that were poorly attached. Fixed at a wheel repair specialist in Vancouver.
