I'm planing these wheels for winter tires

Anyone has experience with the quality of these ARIES wheels from Costco?

They look cool, but that'd be alot of money just for some wheels to use a couple months a year. Might be better to get 6 of them, and just swap the fronts out for the other 2 with winter tires.

C$155 each

In Canada it's more like 5 months: November to March.

Heh. Calgary != Arkansas for winter. Up here, winter rims are worth it since you only mount and balance once every three or four years, and can swap sets yourself. We can get away with all-seasons, especially if you're a good driver, but winter tires up here are usually not seen as 'optional'.

Those rims are nice, but a bit pricey. Canadian Tire has Momo for cheap, or just get a set of cheap $120 wheels since they'll be sacrificial. I'm keeping my eye open for earlier gen Civic 16" wheels for my Touring.

why not use them for your summer and use the facotry wheels for winter

They look pretty dope, better than the steelies people use for winter tires.

I agree with people, you should buy a nice summer rim and use the OEM wheels for winter.

Have you LOOKED at the OEM wheels? They're quite striking, at least on the Touring and EX models.

I think my LX rims are pretty cool, that's why I've decided just to black them out instead of buying aftermarket. Honda makes some nice looking rims these days.

To each their own, Snoop. Maybe it's the pic, but I'm not too big a fan of the wheels on your ride!

I'm not either, but they were $400 and they are a ton better than OEM in my opinion. I really wanted some flush faced chrome 5 spokes, but I didn't want to spend $1200 on wheels.

Don't worry bro, they look fine in my opinion.
