Can you elaborate? I have had great luck with these, but I keep them clean and waxed both inside and out. How many winters on yours?

Thanks.

I had them on for 4 seasons. But I am in Quebec and they are addicted to salt on the roads here. I never expected them to outlast the tires.

ok well I have two options before I keep debating the snow is here and I have no tires...

Option #1 - easiest - I found a deal for 600$ with 2 season old Nokian Hakka 5 studded mounted on these WRX rims;

Option #2 - More of a pain in the ass - I can go really out of by way and buy these rims for $250;

and buy a set of brand new Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 225/60R16 for $468 for a total of 718 + 100 for mounting a balancing?

Votes?

Ended up going with the WRX with Hakka 5 studded. I'm happy with the set up have had several heavy dumps and a few ice rain days and they are great. However should of held out. Right after I bought them someone posted on craigslist a set of hakka 7 with the same wheels and the same price and only one season while the ones I bought were two.
