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.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
