Sorry for the late response, but the wheels I bought have 4" backspacing. Kinda weak. I will upgrade my brakes soon to the ifs hubs and landcruser rotors.

looks hot.
The Teflon coating looks nice, but you would destroy it wheeling. Ask me how I know....

Looks great, getitdone. And, the best part is if you do scratch up a wheel, its an easy DIY fix right in your garage/driveway. Heck, you could touch it up on the trail!

I jsut bought a bunch of POR15 stuff to use after i grind all the rust off my rig, while searching I came across a discount code for www.por15depot.com - google por15 and bronco & it should be one of the first links. Not sure how the price compares to ebay, but they do free shipping on orders over $100 too.

Edit: those wheels really do look awesome, I may be copying you!

No, you were balanced up there and didn't want the 2x4s in the picture so you had to wiggle them out from under the tire!! Poor cinder blocks.

Looks really good. I thought you couldnt paint over por unless you used the por primer between it and the regular paint? Does the paint seem to be adhearing ok? I wonder if that would work on aluminum wheels?
