New rims and Hakkas

[Backpackster]

Today I put on my winter tires. For summer, I have nice stock Big Bend rims(225/60R18) with Michelins. For winter, I was going to use steelies but instead bought the cheapest rims my supplier had, RTX mini Baja. I went with my winter tires of choice Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV. For ease of purchase I also downsized my tires to 225/65R17. I am really happy with the looks.

I like the new wheels.

Dare I say I like them better than the stock 18s?

I like the new rims better than the stock rims.
To me the stock rims look like Subaru Crosstrek rims, and I don't like them on the BS.

I’m starting to lean that way too….

An interesting side note. Not sure if it’s discussed elsewhere on this thread but after deciding to not add tpms and live with an alarm, there is no alarm. I guess it only goes on with tpms and low.

Where were you able to find these wheels and what are the specs?

It was as simple as “give me your cheapest non-steelies that fit this car”. Luck of the draw. Kaltire has an exclusive on Hakkas in Ontario (maybe Canada?) and they sell rtx wheels.
