Hey! So I've had my MB 72s for six months now and I still love them; but today when I was washing the jeep I noticed that the clear coat is starting to peel on 3 out of 5 of the rims. Is there anything I can do about this?

I'm glad you are liking your wheels but bummed to here you're clear coat is pealing. Your MB 72's have a 1 year finish warranty. If the clear coat is pealing and its not due to rock chips, rock rash or other road hazard damage give our customer care department a call and they'll see if they can warranty them for you. They may ask for some images so be prepared to email them. 1.888.459.4080. Anyone in our customer care department will be happy to help you.

I would have to say that buying tires is more difficult than buying a house. Way too many choices and ways to go about doing it.
I've been looking at the BFG A/T or Falkens in a 275/70r18. So I am wanting to stay in the 8-900 out the door range on tires. I am also wanting to be in the top of 33 to lower 35 range in tires. Only thing keeping me away from the M/Ts is the road noise. I do also like those MB72s but having trouble with keeping my cost down.
Advise?
Thanks guys
91 Cherokee is running BFG A/T
95 Grand is running BFG A/T (second set)
06 F-350 is running BFG A/T

If you purchase an aftermarket set of wheels you may have other options. Your budget is pretty tight at $900. You might want to see if you can sell your OE wheels and use some of that money to help you purchase a new set of wheels.

If you want to continue to use your stock 18" wheels the 275/70R18 will be your best bet.

I got 5 MB72s and 5 33x12.5 duratracs for around $1600 from a local Discount Tire shop.
I sold my stock Rubicon wheels & Tires with 26 miles on them for $1200 on Craigslist.
Around $400 out of pocket.
