    Man Dub, I can totally respect your reasons for NOT choosing these (price/cost, Moab infliction) but, Dayam...these look like a perfect match for your ride!!!! (I can visualize in da fuutcha shiny cladding bolts to match the shiny rim bolts too...lol...okay..file that under price/cost...lol.)

    I don't, however, share your concern over somebody else having them...if their nice & you like'im...get them!!! You guys don't fret over having the same tires... Way back when I was first shopping for wheels...I totally digged Baxman's choice but it was only my fear of fender modding (his were not available in 10-12mm offset like I wanted) that kept me from getting them!

    I know we strive for originality in our rigs but If it's a homerun..dude...

    (I hate to break this to you but VX KAT had the cool fuel spill 'tat' long ago..it is now soooo unoriginal..lol!)

    In a short, concise, unabridged format....ME LIKEY THESE ONES!

    I hear ya cluckin' big chicken... I really like those too...AND the "punisher" (skull) ones...I'm still undecided...
    I also like the ones that look like the Volk's...http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...highlight=rota
    And these would look good too, if not for the PITA factor of cleaning...



    It's possible, that the right wheel hasn't been made yet...

    And , that pic was taken on the trip home from Moab in 08', way before Kats "gas tat"...she's copying me!...

    I almost hate to do it, since I like Foghorn Leghorn so much, but back to the topic at hand......

    Now I'm thinking of waiting until I can afford the wheels that are a no brainer for me...Drool
    I already know that I like these, & they're light & STRONG !
    In 18", with everything but the last inch next to the tire powder coated in a teflon finish like Scott's...Hmmmmmmmm...
