seeing as most sit on you car outside, what difference will your garden make? Dirtier maybe, but that'll be the worst of it

I would have though alloys would be ok outside, (I too have has some nicked from the garden though) sitting water does them no good so bag them up in strong garden bin bags (them green ones)

I'm living in a flat at the moment, no garden or garage so Currently I have 10 wheels and 4 tyres in my spare room!
