Snow chains

cgunther · 30-06-2004, 08:31 PM

I've got stock 16" rims on my car and I want to fit snow chains. Will they scratch my rims up, or can I get special ones for cars that have low profile tyres. Has anyone tried?

so you`ll never know what pleasure we get from scraping hard packed snow and ice off our windscreen and lights at 7am and -10 celcius before we go skating to work in the morning in a f**king blizzard!!!
ahhhhh......what bliss :lol:

Might be cheaper to buy a cheap set of second hand rims and new tyres or even second hand tyres
i wouldnt risk the amount of damage it could cause to the rims and underith the car

ive got the BG astina with standard 7 spoke 14 inchh rims with low profile tyres
well
they are low profile but well still fairly big
ive got a set of chains for it too and the plastic bits round the side of the chains dosent scratch the rims

buy some chaser rims or sumting if your worried, but it would probably be just fine in the end
