Anyone ever have any problems w/ Eagle Rims?

I'm thinking about buying a set of eagle alloys 058 or 187 rims in 16x8 size. Anyone ever have any problems w/ these, such as bending, lugs not staying tight, etc? How does a 16x8 fit on our trucks w/ a 4" or 4 1/2" backspacing? Thanks

I have the eagle wheels on my truck they are 16x7s though. They are 058s or 059s. They have the 8 round holes in them. You can see them in my pics. I like them because they are NOT clearcoated, and a little mothers polish once in a while keeps them looking new. The eagle wheels are popular in my area.

I have 058 16x10 on my truck. I use it as a typical farm truck and they work great. far as them staying tight just make sure your lug nut is a little longer than your stud bolt. I would think if you bent one from general use then you could say that you have done something. I think there a great wheel for the money.

Most people have great things to say about them, one guy posted somewhere a set of 589 eagles in 16x10 kept loosening up on him. I had a set of American racing rims, identical style on my 95 and had no problems at all, only reason I want Eagles is they're rated at 3420# and the american racing's are rated at 3100#, and they're pretty much the same price.

Realize that there is only one major wheel manufacturer in the us that makes nearly every oem and aftermarket wheel
