I just bought my VX 3 weeks ago and would love to put these on them. They looked great on that silver, and would be PERFECT on an ebony. But mine is a Proton, and im not sure if it would work on mine. any sugestions?

Somehow I figured Dub would be into those wheels. Has a very nice skull/Punisher theme.
Ok, im 99% sure im going to get them now. Once i get it out of the shop this weekend.
If you know anyone that is good with photoshop, they could paste them into a picture of your Proton. I'd offer but I'm not any good with photoshop.

Put a smiley after you say that Bub.
To Tire rack.com & use the matching feature the site offers for comparisons.
Welcome aboard !
Dakar was just the begining.
To visually see if the wheels would look good on a Proton, there are various tire sites on the web that will "electronically" put the wheels on a Proton VX so you can see what they look like on your computer screen. This is a good way to visually check before you actually buy them.
For a tire that has "matching" Skull & Crossbones, check-out the DICK CEPEK - "CRUSHER" which has Skull & Crossbones actually molded into the tire sidewall as functional side-biters!!! It would make both wheels and tires totally match with the same exact theme. However, the D.C. - "CRUSHER" is only available in 15", 16", 17" size tires (no 18" tire is available). See them at www.TireRack.com

This has to be the most useful thread ever for those of us coming up on a tire replacement.
Thanks rickshaw!
I noticed my truck is half way up the page here. My wheels are American Racing Atx Mojave Coated w/ Teflon, 16x8. Purchased from Tire Rack.
I had to use the lugs to center them on the hub because the center caps are larger than the stock rims. I went with them because they reminded me of the 1980's trooper rims. They rock!
I forgot how much I love this thread... Keep up the good work!
Wheels are American Racing Tactic in Matte Black
Tires are Toyo A/T Open Country
Looks good John!
