Anybody run these? If so, Do you have pics?
I am seriously considering getting a set. I can buy the direct from AR for $110.00 ea. including caps.
Can't decide on wheels or lift!!! Decisions, Decisions...

The teflon is a cool look IMO. I wouldn't buy them though because offroading is going to ruin them, if you offroad that is. My black stretlocks are all gouged up from climbing rocks, slipping off rocks and such. I would die if those wheels were scraped up! :cry:

I really like 'em, they're currently at the top of my list of wants, but have to agree that they would get beaten wheeling. Would be a little disappointing spending $400+ on wheels for looks just have them look like a beat up frying pan after a few sessions wheeling.

i have the teflon victors on my 3rd gen. I am having issues postings pics. The one problem i had is scratching the inside of the wheel where the lugs are. when you use a 1/2" 19mm impact socket there is little clearance between the socket and wheel. I am having conversations with my local AR rep about fixing the problem. If you use a 3/8" 19mm socket there is amble clearance.

p.s. i would be interested in a set of mojave for my brothers tahoe if you can get them at that price

I have the Teflon Victors on my 3rd Gen also. looks VERY nice. Gotten nothing but compliments. One thing, the stock lugs wont work like I thought, the ones the wheel dealer had fit, but they are in too deep IMO, plut theyre going to be a pain to remove since the well is so small. Im getting a set of McGard SplineDrive lug nuts to cure that problem though...

I need to call AR and see if they will cut me a break on multiple sets. They (teflons)were on sale about a month ago and AR said they would give me a break for my personal vehicle. Keep in mind, these will have to be special ordered and could take from 2-4 wks to be delivered.
If you are interested, PM me and I will see what I can do.
