I must have been mistaken with another tire; I've got 37" mtrs 15" rims and thought the ones with 17.5" rims were like 400+ per tire; i got mine for just over 200; idk... given also they are not mtrs in the picture; you can get them for cheaper maybe, idk?

Patrick I just couldn't see fit doing these, wayyyyy too heavy. I can beadlock for much lighter with Poison or AEV and be DOT. What's badass is that these H1 rims are indeed DOT with a stamped DOT approval # in the steel ring and have stamped in the rim FOR MILITARY USE... I found that friggin cool. But having ran them on the TJ at 65mph your head is like from the vibrations. I personally think it was just the crappy H1 Goodyear tires were not centered on the rim from the guy who built them.
Little info on some places who build them.

I still think these look better, it's a members rig on here who did a great job on them, I want to do the same in reverse, black in back (AC DC in reverse ) and alum rock ring outters.

yeah, it's ...I don't know man, I appreciate different anything, like my rig different than others, so it gets that. I think it probably looks better in person, like the name "gator-hyde", looks tough as she-ite but the pics kinda look ...ehhh.... Think it has to grow on you a little, it might not be so bad if it was not such a rough texture, then again nobody would want to lean on your fenders

Its just a thought. I was wondering what I was going to do when my fenders get scratched up because I like the stock ones painted but I wouldn't like the black. The heavy texture is OK for me. What do you think stock would look like w/ green Hyde on em ?

Yeah, those are my Spyderlocks. I love em.
I'm with you Sasquatch, I'm not feeling those River raider flares, not so much the gator-hyde as the non-matching lines. I like your Xenon's better. Just my .02.
