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.)Since I have nothing to do at work:
I tried to scale the rims to an 18" size but I left the tires 'small'.
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!

In a short, concise, unabridged format....ME LIKEY THESE ONES!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...
Super VXer
Wow I really like that wheel Dub. What does it $. I bet it would look nice on a 2000 Kaiser too !

GULP...just got off the phone with the good folks at Centerline...
They $eem to think that they $hould have $255.00 + $25.00 American Dollar$ each to get them to my door...not too likely...
Super VXer
See, told ya $600 shipped was budget conscious!
Sent from my "two hands on a keyboard"

If I calulate that correctly, that comes to $1120.00U.S., plus the meat you'd have to put on them. So for about $21-2200.00U.S. you'd have a good looking set of new shoes on your VX. Next question, in Moab would they get all scratched up ?
Super VXer
if you end up getting the new wheels+tires I'd be happy to take to 20's off your hands.
MODIFICATIONS:
285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers, Steel braided brake calbes, K&N Air Filter, Window Tinting, Debadged, 3 inch lift, Custom boulder bars, Yakima Roof Rack w/ Iron Hoarse Cage, Pioneer DEH-P6000UB deck, and more to come (once the funds do).

Nnn-K...puuld' da trigga
Centerline finally put "Tomahawk Rapids" into overstock pricing, even though they haven't been manufactured yet...
http://centerlinewheels.com/wheel_de...ehicle&data=20
Yeah, I know, over the orig budget @ $220.- ea. shipped, but I couldn't resist.
Also not showing much imagination going with the same wheels I already have in 20"...
And also being load rated @ well over 2K lb. per wheel...no brainer for me.
I hadda christian them down to that price over the phone, so if you're lookin' for Centerlines, don't settle for their first offer...(which was $220.- ea + shipping)
Of course they're gonna be shod in 35/12.50 x 18" Mud Grapplers.
Discount tire direct had the be$t price I could find on those.
In the end, patience won out, as Centerlines are usually $260.- + shipping ea. from Jegs or Summit.
Just ordered the Gorilla shorty chrome valve stems a few mins ago.
Can't wait to start painting the spokes black, epoxying skulls on em, & giving them a clear coat so I don't have to polish the shiny bits ever again...
