my new wheels

http://www.offroadtoystore.com/Merch...RockCrawler-97

Just put these on Friday. Any thoughts on the rims, good or bad?
One was bent

bad. Good thing I ordered 5. Swapped the bent one with the fifth, and waiting on the replacement. I presently do not have a spare, but do carry a tire repair kit and compressor. I'll post pics when I take some.

(I did not buy them from site listed above)

Funny.. I bought 4 of these a few years ago and one was bent also. Took about 10 trips to the tire store to get that worked out.

Heavy, they bend won't brake.. good inexpensive wheels in a variety of offsets.

Those are identical to Cragar Soft 8s, the wheels I want.

31X10.50, no lift, and no rubbing. It's a stock truck, I was amazed the difference with the 31's compared to the original 225/75R15. I will be putting a set of 4:56 diffs in it. It's my DD so I can only do a little work at a time.

Pics: had to put them on photobucket, http://s73.photobucket.com/albums/i229/hdrisc/Toyota/
