First winter for my Rav4- H. For those who experienced winter driving with the Rav4-H, what wheel would you recommend? Been contemplating on getting cheap alloy wheels similar to this but wondering if it will be durable enough for the harsh Canadian winter. Do you think this is worth the investment?

I just bought Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2 SUV with these alloy wheels (225/65R17). Not installed yet but here?s a picture.

It cost me 115$ CAN a wheel including nuts. They are made for our winter and they look not too bad IMO.
Not bad at all. Have you ordered them online? Also, is it hub centric? I believe, hub bore for our RAV4 H is 60.1mm. Having difficulty getting a hub centric alloy rims with this diameter that's why I opted for the steelies. I've had bad experienced with hub rings in my previous car.
