If leave alloys outside a whole winter long......

I changed snow tires for my new trix, but I live in an apartment, is it save to leave those alloy rims outside a whole winter long? Will it crack if too cold?

no it wont crack, the only reason people change their alloys in the winter is because the salt/crud thats on the roads basicly eats away at them. What I would recommend is put them in their own garbage bags and then tie them off, to protect from moisture.

oh and make sure they are under lock&key&guard dog bcuz they will get stolen
