THEY FIT: AR Chambers w/Teflon

[nfpgasmask]

I would love to see the Teflon Mojaves on a VX. They were my second choice. I went with the Chambers because I think they look a little more industrial and futuristic. The Mojaves have a more classic look, which is very nice also. As for the rock crawlers, they just look like spare rims to me. But, if you go with the white, that will be interesting. The other thing is, comparing the AR rims to the Rock Crawlers, you are talking about serious price difference. I say, if you are willing to drop the cash, go with the ARs, but if you are on a budget, do up the RCs.

Gas masks are also cool and industrial looking. Pretty much goes with my whole theme. I plan to shoot a short "wasteland esque" movie with my VX and lots of gas mask action. Problem is, I just left my whole crew back in Chicago, so it is kinda difficult at the moment...

I asked because I never thought about them, but they for sure do look cool. Ok im done back to the real topic...............I like the AR's alot, im stuck between the AR Mojave's in teflon, white rock crawlers or black RC's

Here is my problem.....I have 20's w/street tires on the VX right now that came with it, the seller also had the stock 18's brand new and when I went to pick up the VX about 10 hours away, with the sub in the back I could only fit 2 of the stock rims with me for the ride home.....Now the problem....the seller sent the other two rims to me via UPS.....and only ONE came to my door step. And trust me I have done everything to trace it. Placed two tracers on it, contacted the ups store down here and there and personally serached the UPS center down here where they both were shipped to.....Now I am awaiting on getting paid for my lost articles....So i have to find and send proof of price for the rim and stock tire at its highest price to guarantee most funds possible...

Moral of the story I have 3 brand new stock rims and tires, and winter is approaching and I need non-street tires. I was not in any way expecting to have to go out and buy rims and tires. But since I found rock crawlers so cheap, they are tempting me to stray away from buying used ones on ebay...So what I will hopefully do soon if I get enough money from UPS (depending on where I can find the retail prices of our rims and dueler tire) is buy a new set of winter rims/tires with the money from ups and selling my three other rims.....

Man, I just can't understand how UPS could loose a whole rim. No offense to any UPS fans out there, but this isn't the first time I have heard such horror stories. A buddy of mine bought a lift kit for his truck a couple years back. The box came all torn up with parts literally falling out on his front door step. The kit was missing all sorts of stuff. UPS has lost or mis-delivered a few boxes of mine also. Just last month I bought an expensive and slightly rare pair of sunglasses on eBay. UPS lost that box, now I have to keep searching. I really prefer USPS or FEDEX. Even DHL seems to do a better job sometimes!

I usually don't like black wheels on the VX but the finish on these really blends nicely and the offset is perfect with your choice of BFG - it's like the cladding flows into the tread on the sidewall. You research paid off nicely - kudos!

Thanks Zeus, and I agree. IMHO, shiny black rims looks kinda weak on the VX. That's another reason I didn't want the Rock Crawlers, cause they have a glossy coat on them. These teflon coated rims aren't even really black. They are like a really dark gray, just like the cladding. So they match perfectly. I hear they are really easy to keep clean too.

Just don't cook anything on them at temperatures higher than 400F and you should be fine.

Yeah, I don't want teflon fume fever!
