I love hakapellitas. I run them on my wife's mini cooper. Much better than the Michelin IceX3s I ran on my BMW.
What can you tell me about the wheels ? Offset, bore dia, condition, brand, model ?
I assume the tires only have one season on them? The Hakapellita R2s have tread depth indicators molded into them. What numbers are still visible on the tread 4, 6, 8 ?
Maybe interested. I checked to see that Calgary is a 24 hour drive away from Sturgeon Bay.
If do-able, I might have proposed we each drive and meet half-way, sometime this summer.
Everyone love a good drive, eh.
I had not yet checked freight price.
My competition is a package from TireRack for US$1724.
Your C$1500 is US$1120.
About $230 in fuel costs for me to drive half way.
Assuming about the same fuel costs for you,
Logically, It would be more wise for me to just buy new from TireRack.
Thanks for letting me think this out loud.
If you can't sell this to someone closer to Calgary by september, I will probably still be in the market.
Good Luck.
I would be still very interested if your hub diameter is 67.1mm, same as original equipment. Such as marketed by FastWheels, a canada company, a diameter made specifically for hyundai/Kia cars.
And 18x8 inches.
and everything is good shape, reasonable offset.
I am still interested because I cannot find a Nokian tire /67.1mm wheel hub combination here in the states.
I love hakapulletas, and so far in my life, I have only used original diameter hubs on my cars.
If you cannot help me, I will probably end up, next fall, getting Bridgestone Blizzaks, and using hub centering rings. Good, but not a perfect setup.
They have metal hub rings.,... So I guess that's a no
US and Canada hub diameters are the same, and most after market wheels will come with centering rings. I wouldn't expect an issue here.
