Doesn't your car get wet when you wash it?
What's the difference?
When you get ready to sell it, I doubt if you'll get an extra dollar for it because it never went out in the rain.

Nice car. Love those Starfish wheels. Just put them on my 05 Vert. No evidence of water ever being inside my car in its nearly 200k life. Wouldn't worry about rain. It's the best time to get sideways, unless it just started and the oil hasn't washed off the roads yet.

At least all you have to do is wait for the rain to stop - I have to wait for road salt and snow storms to end!

Wet weather
I agree they do not melt as I have tested for that many times.
The ice and road salt is a different story. We had a constant barrage since end of November and if I got enough rain to wash off the road salt it would be out on the road even in the rain. One thing about these cars they do put a smile on your face every time you go for a ride. It gets above freezing once in a while as a tease but have not seen running outside water in a while. My pickup is covered in salt.
