Title: New wheels....
Post by: wolf66 on May 31, 2006, 12:27:56 PM

My new wheels just got here today, Ion 15x8 alloy's |removethispart|@ $79 ea from jegs  (only $9 s&h for ANY size jegs order)  They weigh 18lbs ea, my steel ones on are 25 lbs so i'll lose almost 30 lbs of rotational  weight, sweet, plus i think they look pretty cool.

look nice, i use only steel wheels for my rigs that see trails. steel wheels are easier to bend back if needed. ;)

"Ion 171 Series Baja Wheels

These Ion 171 Series Baja cast aluminum wheels will finish off your truck with a rugged ready to go look. Each wheel comes in a high quality polished or black painted finish and a closed end stainless steel center cap."
