Those are legit! Well, I the 2nd isn’t too far away. Looking forward to seeing them in action!

I really like the wheels, just still not convinced that I’m going to like them on the truck as much if they were black. I’m anxious to get them on to see how I feel.

You ceramic coded them to help keep snow build up off?

just to keep them protected from brake dust and make them easier to clean.

Did a test fit today mainly to make sure the new lug nuts were long enough and also the the hub rings fit properly.

The wheel by itself looks so small in the big wheel well

I don't know how you guys can live in that cold of an area. I guess I'm a whimp when it comes to cold. I hate my toes and fingers going numb...

You just need to dress for it and I have always loved winter. Look at all the fun things we can do also ski-doing is one of the best off road speed machines u can ride.not even a TRX could keep up to my rocket ship sled lol

I live in Maine and wear shorts in the winter. Step up your game.

I don’t like the small seats on the new ones.

Forgot to mention and show this picture, but when getting 18" aftermarket wheels you will absolutely want to test fit the wheel before having the tires mounted. I believe it is a tight fit with the oem wheels but as you can see with my new wheels its a very tight fit with the caliper. I've been told that under hard braking there might be enough flex that the caliper scrapes the wheel with it this close.

We live above the 55th parallel and just finished 3 months of -40 weather.. well it was -40 every morning but warms up a bit in the day depending on the wind coming off the Hudson Bay.. right now were -30's Celsius every morning with it warming up to -15 by about 2pm.. when the temp gets to -10 you'll see all the teens in this town wearing shorts and t's.. I on the other hand can't do that anymore at my age and injury list.. dressing up for -40 is easy and a little expensive but one does get use to it... I think .. we were born n raised here .. so maybe not.

Love the look of those wheels.. has anyone looked at street legal bead lock rims.. I saw a set awhile back but lost track of the brand they were.

 

[quietpeen]

There are not many street legal bead locks, I never looked into them but that is what I saw on jeep forums. In the U.S. I think it is probably easier to run them and still get a passing inspection though.
