those coopers on the black steelies looks good, not sure if those are just your winter tires since ya "used?" to have those AEV ones, but I like it

Yeah those are just my winter wheels. AEVs going back on in May.

Speaking of the Coopers, this will be the last winter with them. Still looking for a replacement.

I've actually looked on the Nokian website and there are no dealers anywhere close!

I live in Fairbanks. I can always drive down to Anchorage but that's always a pain.

I've never even heard of these guys and they weren't in the phone book yellow pages. But they are listed in the reverse number lookup section.

So what are the black steelies off of? Running spacers with them or ?
Interesting for sure ! Like the look, different.

It's a common practice in Northern areas to run winter tires with winter wheels. These winter wheels are usually the black steel basic wheel. It makes it easy to change your tires and wheels when the seasons change. You don't have to remount and balance. I bought the steel wheels when I bought the winter tires at the same tire shop.

Yes I understand the wimter wheel/ tire thing, used to do the same, but those are not KJ wheels so thats the reason for the what are they off of

Oh...

I wasn't aware that there was a KJ wheel?

I bought the steelies brand new from the tire shop, so they haven't come off anything else.
