    They are similar to the Ultra Thunder wheels that I've been thinking of.
    With a blacked-out VX and light chromeish accents, it'll look tuf!

    I kind of want a sweet set of Beadlocks...
    These OMF's are sweet


    And these guys (Stazworks) will do some sweet custom beadlocks if you truley want to be original

    for some reference. They are the exact same but chrome.

    If you don't mind the rough ride getting rougher, the width they add makes her handle like a friggin roadster.

    Of course, I put a smaller bit of rubber on her with these vs my factory 16's. I kept those for the occasional off roading.

    I'm sure you don't mind cutting (and you may have already) but anymore rubber than you see on mine and you will definitely be cutting/jacking her up.

    Hope that helps!
    All good choices to be sure, but the one's I'm lookin' at are a shade over $500 (4)...to my door...

    I don't think I'd be getting chromies, or especially bead locks, for anywhere near that price...

    Ah, its only money! Come to think of it I could use a little more!
    The Stazworks are around $300 each...not bad for custom.

    With those 35's are you going to re-gear Dub? You wil need a lot more skinny pedal and momentum on obstacles if you don't. Depending on the situation that may mean more carnage!

    If the opprotunity present$ it$elf in the future, then ab$olutely...

    But until then, I might just play with the new kids on the bunny hill...
    Moab has become more of a social gathering for me, with a few exceptions, I've done most of the trails that I care to do.

    I'm hoping that's a sign of the whole age = wisdom thing, but who knows?...
