I dont think stone chips on your wheels will be your biggest problem in Birmingham.

Coming back to find your wheels still on the car may be more of a concern??  :signLOL:

Depending on which parts of Birmingham you plan on visiting, it may be better not going at all. At least not in a GTI. I would know. I live in Birmingham.

As for stone chips, you're more likely to get stone chips on the body than the wheels, and I'd worry more about damage from the numerous potholes.
