    I almost bought the Crawls for my Hummer last month. I like those. Either those or the third one down.

    I got these on tire rack for $79 each. $400 with shipping. It's crazy that they were cheaper than the tires I put on it.

    It emphasizes the industrial look of the VX. It's not that I like the wheels alone that much, but on the VX, it matches perfectly.

    The best compliment I got on them is "Oh no, someone stole your hubcaps."

    My vote is seven. When you really get a rim on a black one, that shows the inside black lip of rim, it is going to look real good. In my opinion way better than a rim that has a very full face. Plus it will be easier to clean (outside of Teflon).

    Ah, now I get what you were saying!


    Problem with the chamber pro's (wheel #6) is that the beadlock is functional, and I'm not sure I really want a functional beadlock to drive around on all day... Does that require a special tire to have beadlock rims or will any type tire work with them?

    Any tire will work with beadlocks...nothing special needed. For road use a beadlock is not really needed (but won't harm anything). Where they shine is offroad...you can air the tires down uber-low for superior traction and not wory about losing a bead.

    Check me if I'm wrong here Sandy, but...

    Are the majority of bead locks DOT approved for street use?

    I haven't done any research on it, just remember hearing something here or there...

    Edit/Addendum...N E V E R mind...

    After a bit O the old google D goo, it looks like it's no prob-lame-O

    Or, just mild off roading and maybe one day a trip to Moab to watch others break their trucks!

    Outside of that, hauling gear to races, dogs to the dog park and myself to and from work.

    hey Bob, I was the first to vote for #7... I think they would be slick!

    I have 20's that I think look like "tuning forks" made by MB Motoring.

    good luck in your quest!

    Dont look at my rims for reference. I bought them for about $80 each at one point when I needed something quick and cheap. If I had to do it all over again I would get black inner lip.

    But those rims won't hold air without those bolts in probably... I'd rather not have to deal with installing/mounting tires on that. Seems like a PITA.
