I'm totally just joking, it was a funny reel I saw on facebook and it forced me to post it when it came to the Honda Ridgeline comment at the end.

So finally decided on the rims, TRD 18" wrapped with some 275 65 18 BfGoodrich KO2s, I think they look great with the grey truck

Nice, I think the more aggressive tire has just as much effect on the appearance as the new wheels.

Yeah, I like that. Surprising thing, the KO2s are quieter than the top grade, chineseum winter tires that were on there. Plus it no longer has a thump at low speeds nor does it pull to the right.

Yeah, both together they give the truck a bit of a brutalist look that suits it

Awesome choice.  I think those are the best wheels for that truck.

Looks great! K02s are seriously impressive. Are you planning to run winters or try the K02s year round? I've heard they're pretty decent in winter conditions.

Looks good. K02s are good in snow, not so much on ice as it it's a compound issue.

Thanks, no I am planning on getting some studded Hakkas for the 20" rims that came with the truck. I've had nothing but awesome luck and experience with them so I might as well continue on with them.

Looks so good! Congrats Fob.

And yes Hakka 10s are amazing. We decided to try the North 9 thinking they were the same as Hakka 10 but they don’t bite nearly as well and are no better than a good studless tire.

Yeah, we got the Michelin North 4 studded on the RX and while they are fine, they are not nearly the Hakka 10's on the Crosstrek

Of course the vehicles are different, but still thinking a couple hundred extra would have have been money well spent. 'Buy once, cry once'
