Haven't seen that. You got any close up pics? I eventually want a stinger for my new rig but not like the one on my previous JK.

Not a fan of the Pintlers at all. I think they look "stockish" and kinda boring. A lot of people will probably say the Soft 8's are boring too. The Pintler's just have that "me too" or "oooooohhh look at me" type of feel to them. Just my

If you ever plan on wheeling over good sized rocks, go with the soft 8s, they take a beatting & you can touch up the rock rash with a can of spray paint. I cant say the same for alloys.

The AVE are pricy but I think it is better to get what you want the first time then use the money could have put towards the Cragar wheels, that you are going to get rid of later. I’m saving up for the bead locks at $300 each. I know it hard to wait but just think how happy we will be when there on and looking sharp. You have great taste in wheels.

Default Cragars

This is what I would do.
Get the Cragars and the 35 now, install your lift so you can start enjoying them. during the time that it takes you to wear your 35s down, save up/decide what you really want.

Buy Uniques through Discount Tire Direct, same as Cragars but even cheaper. Use the cash difference and some saving up to buy beadlocks later.

I didn't want to "Jack" this tread, but no-one was getting the image posted for you. Here's one from us.

you know my vote... I would be afraid of wheeling with those uber pretty/expensive AEV's.. I can care less about waht happens to a soft 8 out on the trail.. replacing one will not break any persons bank.
(And im hoping the "Hey steal these wheels" factor is lower with steel wheels.)
