    They are Super Swamper TSL's (36") & 8" wide Mickey Thompson wheels (fake bead loks). 3" body lift & aprox 3' suspension lift.
    Thanks for the compliments it does clean up pretty well for it's age! If you get 3-5' away it has some scratches but not too bad.

    I just tried 2 products on my aluminum polished rims....want to see if one is better than the other.

    Maybe a coat or two of Griot's Paint Sealant before winter, may help prevent or lessen your corrosion.


    1) Griot's Garage Paint Sealant or One-Step Sealant:
    http://www.amazon.com/Griots-Garage-...+paint+sealant
    I got the "One-Step Sealant" as it has a very fine polish to remove some lights swirl marks and oxidation, AND the Paint Sealant, all in one bottle. The first one doesn't have any polish, just wax..
    They claim it's a synthetic wax, that will last up to a year.

    You can use a rougher polish first, then finish with either of these.

    So far (1 month), the loose dirt from my dirt road does collect a little between the spokes, but I can blow it off, without touching it at all.

    So far, I can't see any difference between these two products, BUT, if the Paint Sealant lasts any where close to a year I'll be happy!



    2) Wheel Wax-
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
    Claims "brake dust and moisture can't penetrate, and changes the surface polarity of the wheels so it helps repel brake dust particles".

    Same as above, I can still blow the dirt off w/o touching them.

    I wish I had my garage and didn't have to work out of it!! The only way I could afford to build it was if I make money out of it. Then I never seem to have time to get much done on my stuff. It took me 8 months to rebuild the engine & do the lift.
