protection against the elements

[sixty-niner]

I am about to buy new rims and tires for my charger, I was wondering what kind of protection against the elements there is out there for rims and the car?  I live in CA but will be storing the car outside in Utah where it does snow for around a year, (im going out of the country) what kind of protection can I get for the rims and car besides a car cover??  or should I most likely wait until I come home to get the rims?
any ideas thanks

hey

they sell wheel covers . there like car covers for your wheels. i've seen them on ebay . plus there pretty cheap.

If your not going to drive it why not buy a cheap set of rims and throw em on? You could probably find a set of plain black rims for 100-150$

Wait till you get back to buy or put the rims on your car.

Get a good car cover

Just my 2 cents

of course get a good car cover . i recommend the Noah fabric ones . they last a pretty long time but the wheel covers help a lot . plus they keep the elements off your disc brakes and lugs .
