Snow Packed Rims

[sbelkins]

#-o I have the 17" Aluminum Graphite RIms on my Rocky Mt. Edition and they have a hell of a habit of plgging with snow/mud and then throwing the balance of the vehicle way off. We are talking, homemade milkshakes if you had a glass of milk in the KJ. Anyone with teh same problems and if so, any suggestions besides not driving through snow and mud?

Beyond a cheap set of winter rims, I don't know, but I don't have much experience in the snow :-k

I have the exact same problem with mine, been a pet peeve for a while.

Looks cool I think, tho. But yea you can notice the balance being thrown off.

I got mud just caked in those tires, and it REALLY through the balance off.

My stock steelies did that today. Thought it was normal? The front suspension likes to stockpile snow too!

my rims never really had that problem.....

Snowpack

(beer) The snow packing in my stock rims this winter has driven me to drinking. And it's snowing as I speak. Also have the vibration thing going when they pack up.

mine do that too (16" 5 spoke graphite with polished lip)

I wonder if some teflon coated wheel would eliminate that. American racing has some nice ones

An old trick that someone told me. If you have problems with mud sticking inside your wheels, spray Pam inside it. That should stop it from sticking. I wonder if it would work with snow?

That would be alot of Pam....LOL

I need to take mine off and clean the insides of them, then I might try that trick.

Just be careful not to get the Pam on your brakes or you could have a serious problem.
