How reliable are the spyderlock wheels?
Thinking of installing the Spyderlock wheels and was wondering if any had problems with them as in ease of use and alignments. Thanks

We've run them for a long time and love the way they look but, had issues with the stars getting hung up in trees and rocks. They also got bent and that threw off the balance. We now run ATX slabs (same wheel without the star) and are much happier.

I had the same experience as Eddie. I bent the star on one wheel and ended up replacing the ring. The wheels though are VERY stout and strong, look great, and I never had any issues with them. The ATX Slabs would be a great choice. I'd like to sell my Racelines for a set of ATX Slabs.

I have been running my Spyderlocks for about 6 months now and have wheeled them pretty hard in my JKU! I have not bent a ring yet but defiantly abuse them on the rocks. They balance out really well and love the look of them! By watching Way of Life's videos I can see where he may damage any wheel though! if you like them I'd say buy them or the ATX Slab wheels!
