Any idea on how much I would be looking to spend on 5 new spinners for either package? Also I know I have seen pictures of them, but the 15's clear an 07 NO problem right? I'm looking right now at Goodyear duratracs, BHawks4Life you still enjoying your set-up? Also did you guys all sell your old wheels? Wondering how much people are getting out of these stock 18's. I have a feeling I won't be able to give those things away I might just have a pow wow and burn those damn things
Thank you for the opportunity at your business.

The 15x8 ET-19 MB72 will clear the brakes on your JK without any modifications

15" and 16" pricing will be relatively close depending on the tire model you want to get into. Give us a call at 1.888.459.4080 and anyone of our agents would be happy to help you pick the best combination for your needs.

Default Picture comparison....

Here is a picture comparison of my various tire/rim combinations. I prefer the smaller diameter rim, it makes the tire look visually bigger:

33's with 15" and with 16":

I didn't get any hub rings with my wheels. Should have I gotten some?

Also, after a week of having them on I noticed one is bent ever so slightly. Doesn't appear to be losing air, but it's annoying. What should I do now?

Hub rings are not required but we may have some available for you. Also, if one of your wheels is bent, give our Customer Care Department a call. They should have no trouble getting you a replacement, they can also look into the hub rings for you. 1.888.459.4080.

Well I called today about getting some hub rings but the guy I talked to said none were available. Is this true? He said they don't even make them

I really think these wheels need them. If I don't torque my wheels in the air I get a vibration around 55~65.
