Also. what size are your wheels and what backspacing are you running? They look great!
I got them from Rooster offroad and did the buy 3 get one free and some free shipping. They are the 17x9 (they list as a 17X8.5) with the 4.75 BS. Thanks for the compliment!

I put a set of ATX Slabs on my Jeep and clearly marked on the box was: MADE IN CHINA



I was so disappointed but I do really like the wheels.

Scott with Wheel Pros (ATX) told me the the forged aluminum came from china but all the machine work for the beadlock is done in the states.

Thanks!...No other real picures with the lift and tires yet other than the driveway shot. I really like the AEV lift so far but have not yet had a chance to try it on the rocks but so far the seat time on the street has been great!

No I ordered through ORW. I live in San Diego and walker evans is only an hour away and I still had to wait amost a month for my street locks. A little insight, all their beadlocks are now made in china and shipped to the states. The earthquake/tsunami in Japan realy threw a wrench into their avalibility and turn around times. Take alook at the street locks unless your dead set on the true bead locks.
