Winter rims - need those for next year

[DVad3r]

So I got a metal bolt in one of my tires last year and got it fixed. But my tire pressure still falls down slowly, I pump them every week. Due to this the tires in the front got pretty uneven and the tread got pwned. I had to rotate my tires and the pwned ones went to the back. This winter I've been sliding around like crazy on turns, and I literally have to go 10 km per hour or less or I go sideways.

My plan is to ride these tires out for this summer and when winter rolls around next year get a set of winter tires/rims. And for the summer Ill put on nice summer tires on my main rims.

Anyone know any good winter rims that aren't made in China and actually have some quality?

You need new tires...not rims.

we do that too. a set of wheels and tires for winter and a set for summer. this works out well and its easy to change them yourself.

check out the dealer for new takeoffs, usually they will have a few sets around.

Yea that's the plan 😀 Just looking for a set of winter rims that are descent quality and not the made in China junk they sell at Canadian Tire.

Get steels from the wrecker

What's wrong with the regular steel wheels?

From Canadian Tire?
They are a thinner gauge steel than OEM's

Maybe nothing, maybe something, either way if I could spend my money elsewhere and support USA/Canada I'd rather do that. I try to avoid Chinese products whenever I can. Good enough explanation?

I don't think I've heard of any accidents involving weak steel wheels.

They don't give you accidents, they bend easily and then yolu have to replace them cause they are crap

I see. Hopefully I don't run into that problem with mine.

I believe they are reconditioned OEM wheels, but much cheaper than new. I've also had luck buying sets of takeoffs on Ebay. I don't like steelies.

Edit: Apparently, I'm wrong!

If you just drive they are fine, its just usually slip sliding into curbs and frozen potholes is much easier in winter

I bought a set of aftermarket wheels/tires for spring/summer/fall usage, and used my OEM wheels with the winter tires.
