New wheels?

Im thinking of getting another set of wheels-winter/summer sets cos the GP wheels are time comsuning to clean and collect dirt quickly even in summer.

1) Do i use current wheels for summer and get a winter set easy to clean and tyres to match?
1A) Buy same wheels and stick with 18s or drop to 17s(maybe buy better known as CLAWS here) for comfort.

2) Do i use current wheels for winter and get some summer wheels later?
2A)Buy same wheels stick or different ones,stick with 18s or go up to 19s?

3)Just stick with one set(current ones) and get on with a different mod like discs etc

3, stick with them.

I take my wheels off once a month for a "wonder wheels" treatment. I have a bog-brush attached to a drill that I am able to reach to the far side of the rim with. Sad but true.

Re: New wheels?

The standard wheel on a GP kit is 18" OZ's. Ride quality is still good with the 18's even now it has been lowered more.

Surely u knew that though PNL.
