Great wheels. They just had everything I was looking for in a wheel. Lots of backspace (running high steer kit and planning on coilovers soon), big beadlock hardware, concealed bolts, rockrings, replaceable bead lock bolt inserts. They were priced right and free shipping at the time. Not to mention having a wheel not every other jeep is running is a plus too. Atx are great and have a standard beadlock ring, if you don't need/want rockrings.

maybe I am looking at the picture wrong... but it looks like the spacer is still on the axle... are you sure this is spacer related or was the wheel just not torqued to the spacer correctly...

All aluminum wheels need to retorqued after 100km. The metal reacts to heat more then steel.

1.5" ballistic fab is the spacer mfg and to the other question relating to the picture, as mentioned the wheel separated from the spacer due to a torque issue i presume. The threads on the spacer are toast

Yeah it doesn't look like a spacer issue to me cause all of the studs are there. I check my torque on my wheel lugs every month or so it takes a few minutes. Never had one loosen up ever and I ran these spacers for a while on my Grand Cherokee.

I do not check the torque on my spacers because I used red loctite and by checking the torque you will break the loctite lock and then it is useless.
