Very nice looking trucks!!

NRiver, I think you took a step backwards with your rig....IMHO. I like your previous pics with it all blacked out and particularly your black wheels. The new shiny wheels just look to "blingy".

D.Wiggs definately has the most "awesome" truck here, but I am turned off by his 22.5s. I just shake my head when I see them. Sometimes, "LESS" is "MORE". Except when it comes to Horsepower !!

But, on the other hand, it seems like everybody else loves them....so don't listen to me.

Yep, I agree. I need to get the original wheels re powder coated. They were starting to flake. They put two coats on them and did not do it soon enough between coats, my guess. So the top coat started flaking off. So I started looking for a different wheel. I came across the Welds cheap, so I go them.

My other problem with the powder coating is they coated the entire wheel. I would sugest if you have your done, dont coat the lug nut area, the rear flange, or the hub area. I had to do this at the Tire shop and file it off as I was putting the wheels on. a pic of what I did.


I will also say, I like the different offset of these wheels. I had more tire rubbin problems with the stock wheels and the 37s. Control arm and Sway Bar rubbing, the Welds dont have that issue. So I have not made a attempt to get the black wheels fixed and get back to the look. I am thinking I want to get these Weld wheels powdercoated. That my be the next step, not sure how it will take with the chrome or if it will ruin them. I just need to get to a point where I can dismount these tires and do all the swapping around again. Seems like I spend $100 each time I move the tires around. Or take teh H2 wheels out of the garage and get them machined and done. Too many options.

So, yes I went backwards and agree, not quite as good.. Cant decide how to move forward again.

I also just bought a Rubicon and my time and effort are going to that project for more off road fun.

If you decide to go back with the stocker wheels, you may consider just having them completely sandblasted again and done over. I don't know how many coats (I thought just one) they put on my wheels, but they are holding up great.

Rambunctious1 and CQuestad both have black H2 wheels if you wanna see them for comparison. Very nice!

nriver

they will be completley re done, yep total sand blast.

just have not taken them over to do. I have some parts for the rubicon going over soon and will drop the wheels off at the same time.

Here is mine, completely stock, but the TRX4 badge sets is apart. Look for it to be leveled, with roof lights and a Ranch Hand front end replacement soon....

Here is a couple of mine, I have since removed the stack and installed a 51 Nelson, and blacked out my corner lights, and installed Recon clear cab lights, also im at a cross roads over the center caps, do you like it with em or without em?

D.Wiggs

Wait till the 22.5s are black chrome and I have some real beefy tires (295/75 Goodyears) on there. I think that will win you over

TexasCTD

I will be looking forward to seeing it! Good luck winning me over though. I'd prob still have to vote 19.5''s.

Actually, it is all just jealousy cause I wish I had your bombing budget!!

Keep up the great work. You need to get that rig on a dyno and tell us what it will put down spinning those 22.5s.

D.Wiggs

It won't be long now! I should be able to get it on the dynoe maybe by the end of next week!
