THEY FIT: AR Chambers w/Teflon

[nfpgasmask]

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.

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!

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.

Hi Bart,

Well, after doing WAY too much research, I've finally decided that you made the right choice. The Teflon Chambers are the only Teflon-ish rims that will suit the 1999 VX. The others were either too big or had a WAY too different offset.

I'll probably stick some Yokohama Geolandar AT/S tires in a 265-70-16 size. Using the online tire calculator, the diameter difference is only 1.11 inches...or an estimated 30.61 inch total diameter.

I'll probably do a combination lift/cladding trim so the tires don't rub.

You might not even need to worry about a trim with the offset of these rims and that 30.6" tire size. You definitely don't need a lift - but maybe crank on the torsion bars enough to remove the rake if you want. That combo will look good!
