I just got wheels last week and put them on. I am planning on leaving them on. I just wont drive it if there is bad weather or lots of sand on the roads after a snow. I still have my stock wheels though, so if i see any marks or anything on the wheels from sand or something winter related, i will throw the stockers back on.

I do, but I doubt you want answers from people in Florida. I probably wouldn't if I lived in the north.

In VA here.. and I do. I just make sure to clean them often.... and EVERYTIME after I drive in the snow... chemicals that they put on the roads will eat at the polished lip if left on for more than a few days.

I'm glad to see that you do Mike, I was worried I might be doing something stupid. But i just finally got the wheels, there was no way i was going to let them sit in boxes for a few months!

chemicals WILL ruin your wheels if you dont clean them often

and since hoses tend to freeze up during the winter i suggest you take your wheels off if you can

If the hose freezes, i will just get buckets of water from inside the house. If I notice any problems or start worrying, I will take them off.
