These are the offsets. Offset determines the location of the wheel and tire assembly when bolted to the vehicles hub. All the wheel models we offer for the JK in 15" utilize negative offsets.

Check out this link.

We like it too and are sad to see it go. Unfortunately the MB72 wasn't very popular for other vehicle applications which lead to it being discontinued.

Damn, that's a huge disappointment. I've been saving up and was going to get the MB72s this month :(

I really don't see another wheel like it that captures that old-school look (well except for the Soft 8's, but I wanted aluminum).

And they have them in the 16s still. Might want to get those since duratracs in 35s don't fit the 15s. I have the 15 mb72s w/ duratracs in 33s but been wanting to upgrade to the 35s.

We will be receiving the 15x8 ET-19 Level 8 Tracker in about 2 weeks. As far as the 16x8.5 MB72 goes, we have approximately 72 sets available
