Thanks man!
That's what I was going for... as well a little more rugged. Thanks for the compliment.
You know I had second thoughts as I was headed to the tire center, but after seeing the results, I am very pleased and the wheels totally exceed the look I was going for.

Thank you, I appreciate it.
Thanks. I didn't think it would turn out that well!

They sure do. I noticed at full lock, I would rub with LCA and it'd make an awful sound. Now at full lock, no sounds occurs with no rubbing. Also I don't know if it is just me, but the ride is a lot better than it was with aluminum wheels. I don't know if it's just the PSI in the tire or if the added weight of steel made a difference? Either way, i'm way pumped and happy.

Great build and thread. Well updated. Jeep looks good.
I would like to see those steel wheels in white. Since you got some extras, you could paint one or two up and see if you did like it for your next set of tires.

I wonder if the old wheels needed balanced better or something.

Thanks buddy.
That's actually not a bad idea, now that I think of it. Who's going to buy just three steel wheels anyways? Painting the extra set of three just might be my spring project. Thanks for the idea.
I got them balanced twice in a span of the last two months they were on there because I was experience a little wobbling at 55-60MPH. I didn't think the ride could get better, but it just did. It is A-W-E-S-O-M-E.
