Wheels are backordered 8 weeks.

They cancelled my order and said check back then.

Nuts.

I'll tr another online retailer tonight. This place was about $30 less per wheel.

That sucks Gary. They should have given you the option of canceling the order or keeping it with a discount.

I can get these wheels for $99 each. Same wheel but a polished finish. They are in stock and I'd have them by Thursday.

I prefer the black ones - but black may be more subject to showing scratches and marring.

I personally like the polished the best, but get whichever ones you like best. Even if you have to wait.

This one...

I can get in a 16x8
I'd run 315/75/16 tires=34.6"

or this one...

I can get in a 17x8
I'd run 315/70/17 tires (exact same as Raptor)=34.36"


Polished or Black? Let's hear it everyone....

I personally think I need to stick with the black.

to me, the other ones fit your color scheme the best.

there is nothing polished on the side of your rig - black and white only.

yet the bit of polish offer just a tad of contrast against the black & black tires




these would be my second choice


But I like the holes vs the spokes. Can't you get the top ones shipped in?

(sorry for the edits. I'm done now. really )

The black and polished will look best in my opinion due to making the rim not stand out as much as just the polished as well as bringing the look of the whole Bronco into the picture besides just the rims. If someone has just polished rims on their vehicle those catch my eye first then I look at the rest of the vehicle but if they have a rim that isnt just completely polished I look at the vehicle as a whole instead of as an after thought.

I can. I found another place. They are about $120 shipped. The polished ones are about $110.

I'm worried though that when I order the black ones they are going to call or email and say backordered. I haven't had luck anywhere.

These are the tires I'm getting no matter which wheel I get. Nothing but incredible reviews and the Kevlar in the sidewall sounds awesome for punctures...

Edit: I've never been a fan of Wranglers. All the Wranglers I've had were terrible on tread wear. But the tire just sounds too **** good. Almost too good.

a bit too much bling for my taste (and I'm from St. Louis)...
