Anyone have Rock Crawler Series 152 rims? I'm thinking they may look pretty good on my X and wondered if anyone else had any experiece with them.

the 1st pic
 






You need to watch out. I keep having wheel balance issues. It turned out that there not round. I will be replacing mine as soon as I can. They do work as advertized. Last time I had airdown my tires they keeped the bead. One tire too much air was let out by mistake. Also there also heavy. Large tires and steel wheels put added stress on CVs

I choose the 3rd pic for your X. It's too clean to have those 152 on it.


I agree ;) Although the 3rd pics looks like the wheels I have only in crome from 4WP.
 






Honestly, I hate the black rock crawler steet lock's (152's). The AR victor's are sweet rims, and would look great on your truck, as well as flow with the darker color scheme. So I choose #2, with #3 a close second.
 






Same as j602^^^
 






I'm sorta leaning towards the AR Victor's myself now the more I stare at them. I like the fact the chrome ring accents the chrome trim. Also looks close to the newer Ford rims I think. Are these Victor's trail worthy though? I will use them, they aren't just for show...
 






I think they'd be fine for the trail. Plus they're coated with teflon so they should be plenty tough. I wanted to get these myself but they didn't come in a 15".

And there like 400 bucks a piece or something! :eek:
 






Yeah, but....They're sweet! :D
 






victors for sure!! I love those rims, but like stic-o said, they're EXPENSIVE!
 






Hmmm... Would I be able to put 33's with 16in. rims on my X with a 3" body lift? With little to no trimming?
 






Yes you can. Ran 305/70/16 X terains until I replaced them with 35/12.5/16 SSRs. I dont recomend 16s Tire pressure for tires is 50 PSI max and you need to run at 30-32 PSI. I will be going down to 15 in rims. (Micky Thompson Classic Lock.) Most 33/12.5/15 run 35 PSI max.
 






These are alot cheaper, and they come in crome too.

Well, the Victors aren't the most expensive rims I've ever seen. Only $206 a rim. The Street Locks on the other hand are in the $80 range. And of course the ole' standby's RC Series 51's are only like $55 a rim (looking at 4WP.com pricing). So I think those are my final choices. I think I'm going to look at tire packages for 33's with these three rims and see what I come up with. Thanks for all the help/suggestions so far!
