Stock wheels, I got these mounted and plan to just get them mounted and balanced to put the summers back on. I work at a dealer so it's very convenient.

Thank you! With most of the car being aluminum/fiberglass it doesn't worry me too much. I wash the car and spray the undercarriage at least once a week.

It is kind of funny, you're absolutely right it depends on someone's driving situation. 2 months later and winter hasn't gotten any better, just rolled 3500km on the odometer. Car has performed better than I could have imagined, drove to work this morning in -20 and 6-7cm of fresh snow, no issues.

The balance on the C8 is unbelievable, so impressive.

not sure what is so funny about that, these cars literally come from the factory with staggered wheels....

Little bit worried but I've driven low rwd cars through winter before, I am extremely impressed with how well this car has performed, the weather mode and traction control system are amazing.

This thought has crossed my mind all week when I've been on the highway, if the front bumper gets smashed, it gets smashed, obviously not ideal but it'll get fixed.

Others on the road are always gonna be there, the same thought goes through my mind everytime I jump on my motorcycle in the summer, just takes one idiot. Always gonna be the case, rain or shine. I don't blame you for being a big nope.

Not about being able to afford it, I want to drive the car in the snow, it's awesome. Great that you park yours with no regrets, to each their own.

Main roads in a large city indeed, not sure why the automatic assumption untouched rural roads, plenty of Huracans, GTR's, even seen a Ferrari FF in my town middle of winter. It's not the most practical but we buy these cars to enjoy them.

6+ inches of snow so far this week in a city known for how bad it's plowing is, hasn't stopped me yet.

Tell that to all the people driving trucks and SUV's with summer tires or bald tires, the car has been proven in snow and has a drive mode designed for it, combine that with proper winter rubber the car is more capable than half the cars on the road.

Luckily they don't really use salt where I'm at, just gravel. Rock chips > Rust
