THEY FIT: AR Chambers w/Teflon

[nfpgasmask]

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!

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.....

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!

Hi Bart,

I've been eyeballing both the AR Chambers and the AR Dominators in Teflon. I notice you opted for the 16" wheel. Did you consider the 18" wheels? I'm taking delivery of a '99 Ebony VX in a few days, and I'm planning on changing the stock 16 inchers to 18". I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Hey, I just replied to your PM.
