I Report...You Decide

I never liked the aluminum rims that came on our RTV-X1120. While they have just a touch less weight, they don't look good covered in red clay they just don't belong on a work machine. (My opinion only).

I found an original unused set of Kubota gray factory rims form another member and bought some Blackwater Evolution tires in 26.11.12.

Please see the attached picture. It shows the original tire/rims and the new ones. Let me know what you think. My Wife sprayed the aluminum rims off a little before the pic.

The guy sitting in the seat is from our dealer who came to our place to install the seat belt brackets from the recall.

I like the aluminum. If you want to sell them give me a shout.

He's a former Alaskan. Being little "out there" is normal for us. The question is...Do you have to be somewhat crazy to live in Alaska, or does living in Alaska cause a person to be somewhat crazy??

I am just practical. Most people (passengers side) think aluminum is better looking and you personally (Drivers side) prefer steel.
Seriously though my friends dad had his minivan set up that way with hubcaps and I never noticed till he pointed it out.

I dont want to be too specific but we went to church in a small town in Alaska one Sunday and there was a young man there with the top right of his head and left side of beard shaved and top left of his head and right side of his beard grown out.
Just confirming foxalaska's statement.
