    I'd say get'em....but I'd figure on a spare too mounted on perhaps a cheaper "steel" rim unless you wanna pony-up for duplicate wheel. I'm thinking that if you only buy "4" and encounter bad luck along the way buying a replacement tire down the road might entail some "back-order" time. I'm not sure how readily available those tires are. I seem to remember someone having availablility issues with the Nitto Grapplers maybe???

    The only other option is to check into a rehab clinic for "mod withdrawl".

    Hey pbkid....

    They are "fake" beadlock steelies...yea , I wanted 'real' red ones too..but they cost too many drinking vouchers!

    I simply sprayed the centre caps "VX" logo red so it matches the engine detailing ....

    Got the spare issue covered...sort of, I've got a 16" rim from a Passport which has a 285/75x16" Nokian on it. Measures 32.93 or real close to it.
    The 33" Mud Grapplers are just a shade under 33" also.
    I'm willing to gamble on it being close enough to get me back to "civilization".
    I'll also have a set of four Terra Grapplers on the stock rims for a backup set.
    285/75x16"...not quite as big around as the Nokian, but close.

    As for the rehab...mmmmm, not so much.

    jo, can those center caps fit on any rim? and if so where do i order some?
    i have 98 tacoma rims right now, so that means that i have no center besides the outside of the axle...
