Just made an order.

Woot. Finally got around to ordering some new wheels. I hate my stock ones.

Ordered the Cragar Soft 8's in 15x10 form with 4" BS. I'm not gonna post a picture of them, because you should already know what they look like.

For now, their just gonna be chillin' in the house till I get my tax return. Once that comes...Brian (BlkTremor02), you'll be expecting an email from me about a certain set of tires.

Well, as long as he's not running 33s he'll be alright...

Don't see any tire size listed...

You getting the black ones or the chrome ones? Im guessing hes gonna get 33s with a 15x10 rim, thats kind of big for some stock tires....so he will probably need a BL

Yes yes, don't worry Zack. I'm getting a BL. Along with some 33x12.50 Buckshots.

Rocky: I got the black ones. I didn't really feel like keeping up on the maintanance of the chrome ones because of the rock salt here in PA. The salt would eat those alive.

I just got back from work and found out I got an email from summit. The wheels were sent in two different boxes. Each were 71 lbs. They should be here Monday.

My UPS guy has gotta love me. Between R/C Cars and trucks, computers, and now truck parts, he's getting a workout. LOL

You'll Probably have to remove your mud-flaps, so they dont rub.

Btw- the black wheels are probably going to rust. Chrome cleans up easily with steel wool, i wish my wheels were chrome instead of polished aluminum.

I dont know about other rockcrawlers, but the soft 8's are powdercoated and not painted so rusting shouldnt be a problem. Unless of course the powdercoating gets scratched off. Mine are supposed to get here tomorrow.

They finally got here yesterday while I was asleep. (I work 3rd shift, so I sleep during the day.) Opened up one of the boxes and oooooo these are NICE. A lot better looking in person then in pictures. I'm gonna test fit them later today and see how the black on white color combo is gonna look.

Well, since I don't have the tires and body lift yet, this will have to hold you over for now. LOL
