These are brand new wheels and I don't want to wreck them. As of now the bolt is broken inside the wheel. I have spent a lot of time researching these wheels and I have never read about this problem, which makes me believe I was given the wrong bolts. I try threading the bolt for another one of the wheels, the same thing occurs (I unthread it before it gets too stuck). Does anyone have this issue?
The D-Window Alloy requires open end lugs so the center cap can be attached properly. What type of lugs did you receive? What size is listed on the lug kit?

FYI, I don't think 15" wheels will work with aftermarket tie rods. Synergy I know from someone else that's a problem. You probably want at least a 16" wheel if you are upgrading your tie rods

I'm not sure. We haven't test fit these with Synergy Tie Rods.

sorry for all the questions, but have you ever had any overheating issues messing up anything, hint breaks?

I have over 6000 miles on 15" MB TKOs and 33x12.5r15 Duratracs on a 2013 JKU. All driving conditions including snow, rain, highway with a long 8 hour plus road trip, and wheeling. No issues.

By the way, Discount Tire does a great job putting these wheel/tire combos together. They seem to sell quite a few since you find lots of positive posts on various forums about them. If there were these kinds of major issues you'd see that on the boards as well.

Do you guys have a general grabber with red lettering in a 35/12:50/r15? I couldn't find one on the website. If yes:

Quote on:
5- Black rocks 15x8-10 machined and black
5- 35-1250-r15 general grabbers

Thanks!!!
