Getting new wheels

[Dan Whitaker]

They should be here next week.

I origanly was getting some ION 171B & bought them from Rim-Zone off Ebay.
The ION's were back ordered so he offerd me the DC-1 blacks for the same price

 

[410Fortune]

those are so sick nice choice

I saw in F-150 with either those wheels or something very similar, it was almost orgasmic it looked real nice.

For right now the 31x10.5x15 Wheel-Trac's that I have now.

This summer I'm going with one of these:

Swamper Trxus STS 31x11.5x15
Cepek Fun Country 31x10.5x15
Cepek Mud Country 31x10.5x15
BFG A/T 31x10.5x15
Pro-Comp XTREME M/T 31x10.5x15
Maxxis Trepador 31x10.5x15
Parneli Jonse Dirt Grip 31x10.5x15
Kumho KM71 (I think that's what there called)31x10.5x15

 

[ExplorerDMB]

that's a good amount of choices to choose from. Good luck

This is quite a list
always hear tho that the Truxus has a rather soft tread compound
BFG's are always a good choice i have owned a few sets of em and always have been happy with them (both mud and all terrains) Pro-Comp and Parnelli Jones are too much $$$$$But then again the Kuhmo's are hard to beat on the price and realiablilty(sp?) is quite good too.

Just my .02 tho

IMHO
Those wheels would look better on my truck--
You found a good e-bayer there--

That is my fear on the Trxus. I need a tire I can get some milage out of. I put 20,000 a year on my Mounty.

Price is why I probably will stay away from the Parneli & Pro-Comp

I like the Fun Country's & I know Jaime (410Fortune) swears by them but thet are pricey as well $140-$145

I had 30x9.5x15 BFG A/T before th Wheel-Trac's amd liked them. I also like the fact of the rim guard. They definately saved my old wheels when I had a flat on the interstate and limped a 1/4 mile on the shoulder to a truck stop.

But for price I'm leaning real heavy toward the Kumho's.

Those are some awesome rims, maybe i need to order the IONs and see if I get the same deal!

 

[DeRocha]

Nice...

BTW I bought from Rim Zone before and it was a great deal. The company is just a reseller and the rims came direct from the factory to my door.. What was amazing is the cost was half off what I could get the rims for at local tire and wheel shops...

 

[410Fortune]

those would look so sick with the new MT's I got! Drool......
I put my fancy wheels on the Explorer, I would love to get these rims for the BII, the black and chrome look is *****in and the dish and spoke design is perfect, again nice choice!

Dan, I'd look really hard at the Kuhmo's. I've got the Kuhmo 33 x 12.5-15's on my X and I really love 'em. I had the BFG m/t's before, and I like the Kuhmo's better. Amazingly, they work EXTREMELY well in the snow. With the BFG's, I was all over the road, but with the Kuhmo's, traction is great. I highly recommend them..

BTW, I paid about $119 each for the Kuhmo's from Summit Racing.

 

[1996xlt]

I'm with 410 Fun Country is the way to go. I've had mine for about 6-7k and they show very little wear. I got mine from ntwonline.com for $129 but it looks like they went up.

Tire Rack is where I saw the Kumho's & they were $109 a tire.
It's possible Summit can get them as well. They have special ordered for me in the past.
