Been thinking of some 18's

[ZEUS]

Since I have nothing to do at work:

I tried to scale the rims to an 18" size but I left the tires 'small'.

Yeah, I am feelin' this. The red line around your front fenders and hood, and then these wheels, it all ties in!

Nice find and photochopping, Justin!

I hope you say no....joking then there would be three of us with these rims. I wish I had a good side pic of my VX with my limo tint so you could show me how it would look on mine. I am thinking 18's too.

I am buying these next month.

SNAKE VX has them and I like them alot. It brings out the red. I think they would looks good on costiecosta's set up.

So how about these...? I think the accents totally fit the hotrod!

Yeah, I dig the look, & think they'd be great LOOKING, but I can also see those hex head details getting ripped out by the roots out Moab way...

Dude, I sincerely appreciate the Pho-chop...really does tie the whole red accent thing together.

If Harris is getting them, then I'm NOT!...






















































Kidding John...
Since it's already been done (Snake & soon, John), that, along with the price is the deal killer for me...

Besides, even if these get totally trail gank'd, a little sanding, bondo, & paint...



Did I mention, a shade over five bills...TO MY DOOR?...

[Ldub]

DANG... You're GOOD!

Thanks for the look-see into the possible future......Drool

These seem to accentuate the gas spill better......

Centerline finally put "Tomahawk Rapids" into overstock pricing, even though they haven't been manufactured yet...

http://centerlinewheels.com/wheel_de...ehicle&data=20



Yeah, I know, over the orig budget @ $220.- ea. shipped, but I couldn't resist.

Also not showing much imagination going with the same wheels I already have in 20"... But being my fav wheel for years, & weighing only 22 lb ea.
And also being load rated @ well over 2K lb. per wheel...no brainer for me.

I hadda christian them down to that price over the phone, so if you're lookin' for Centerlines, don't settle for their first offer... (which was $220.- ea + shipping)

Of course they're gonna be shod in 35/12.50 x 18" Mud Grapplers.

Discount tire direct had the be$t price I could find on those.

In the end, patience won out, as Centerlines are usually $260.- + shipping ea. from Jegs or Summit.

Just ordered the Gorilla shorty chrome valve stems a few mins ago.

Can't wait to start painting the spokes black, epoxying skulls on em, & giving them a clear coat so I don't have to polish the shiny bits ever again...

Me likey!!!!!
Other than the Borbets, this is my other fav (and the styling looks very much like Kenny's and Travis' new ones...which I really like)

[vt_maverick]

I hadda christian them down

LOL... Nice one Dub.

Man Dub, I can totally respect your reasons for NOT choosing these (price/cost, Moab infliction) but, Dayam...these look like a perfect match for your ride!!!! (I can visualize in da fuutcha shiny cladding bolts to match the shiny rim bolts too...lol...okay..file that under price/cost...lol.)

I don't, however, share your concern over somebody else having them...if their nice & you like'im...get them!!! You guys don't fret over having the same tires... Way back when I was first shopping for wheels...I totally digged Baxman's choice but it was only my fear of fender modding (his were not available in 10-12mm offset like I wanted) that kept me from getting them!

I know we strive for originality in our rigs but If it's a homerun..dude...

(I hate to break this to you but VX KAT had the cool fuel spill 'tat' long ago..it is now soooo unoriginal..lol!)

In a short, concise, unabridged format....ME LIKEY THESE ONES!

I hear ya cluckin' big chicken... I really like those too...AND the "punisher" (skull) ones...I'm still undecided...
I also like the ones that look like the Volk's...http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...highlight=rota
And these would look good too, if not for the PITA factor of cleaning...



It's possible, that the right wheel hasn't been made yet...

And , that pic was taken on the trip home from Moab in 08', way before Kats "gas tat"...she's copying me!...

[Jolly Roger VX'er]

I hear ya cluckin' big chicken...

"If I'm a roo - Ah say - if I'm a rooster, I hope to be struck by lightn *KAPOW* Well, let's put it another way. "Way" that is."

"Say, boy, you cover about as much as a flapper skirt in a high wind."

"Boys as sharp as a bowling ball."

"This is gonna cause more confusion than a mouse in a burlesque show!"

"You're doing a lot of choppin', but no chips are flyin'."

"That girl's like that road between Fort Worth and Dallas....................................No curves."

"That boy's so dumb, he thinks a Mexican boarder pays rent."

[Scott Harness]

Foghorn Leghorn...one of favorites

[Ldub]

I almost hate to do it, since I like Foghorn Leghorn so much, but back to the topic at hand......

Now I'm thinking of waiting until I can afford the wheels that are a no brainer for me...Drool
I already know that I like these, & they're light & STRONG !
In 18", with everything but the last inch next to the tire powder coated in a teflon finish like Scott's...Hmmmmmmmm...
