Hey guys! I'm leaving for Sacramento in about 3 hours. Do I need to go out and buy chains, or will they let me pass with just the ACD?

nvroads.com and 877-NV-ROADS when you're on the road. 4wd or chains so they will let you get by. Hope you're on all season tires, I wouldn't try with stock advans or other summer/dry tires. Be safe and take your time.

Thanks guys! I just wasnt too sure if they consider ACD equivalant to 4wd. And, I've never put on chains, and would never want to...

Put my wheels on this morning. The wheels are Rota G-force 18x9 with Ventus K104 245-40-18. The rotas are pretty nice. The paint on it is nicely done and although there are microscopic blemishes that you'd have to look real closely with very good lighting, I'm satisfied wih the quality. It is heavier than stock, but it's not that significant and I can't tell when I'm driving around. Here are some pics that I took from my cell. I'll get the car washed and get some better pics later.

Looks good Hee! Curious as to how those tires are. I've been looking at Hankooks for a cheap alternative and they seem to have good performance so far.

went up donner pass yesterday fo some snowboarding., road was nasty., i have on nitto 555 summer tires and the car was fine., i had to give extra space for me to slow down cause if i hit the brakes hard, the car slides a bit....just drive slow and be extra cautious.
