got new ProComp Rockcrawlers (Pics)
They were on sale so I had to get them. I thought the center caps would be included but I was wrong. I heard they go for $20 for all four. I'm pretty sure I don't want them. I just need some warmer weather so I can paint the rear drums/centers black.
Because of the back spacing and wider width, I now have a slightly wider stance. This was my main reason for getting aftermarket rims. Despite the mixed reviews from friends, I'm pretty happy.

Those are a different style than mine...mine have more holes in them and mine seem shinier. I think they look great though, I have always loved the wider look it gives...still VERY happy with mine

Looks great! Are those Eaton wheels? I had some of those but returned them cause they were so damn heavy. Got MT Classic II's instead, but the oxidation from Pittsburgh winter is making wonder if I did the right thing...
Brian, get that thing muddy already, eh?

Thanks! I expected them to have more holes too. I ordered the ones like Brian's but 4wheelparts called me and said these would give more clearance between the rim and caliper. Whatever. I like them all.
They actually are shinier than they appear in the pictures. They have a thin layer of dirt on them right now from the salt and sand coated roads.
BTW, Bri your rig is looking sweet. Love the black grill.

Looks great-I love the black wheels. Have to wait until its time for new tires though (incase I go wider), too poor to go changing just for looks.

I did it to my Unique's, and no one can tell.

16x8 w/4.25" backspacing
Those are definitely the same style as the ones from Wheeler's, which have a 3.75" backspacing. I didn't know Tech 1 made a rim in that style. Probably not a big deal, but you may want to double check and see just exactly what you received. They look good either way.

Another convert to our club.....

Once you're in, you never leave, just like the mob.
As Puff Daddy said, only the Tech1's don't have the "pride" stripe.
