Well that settles it... Been wondering how those'd look on my rig, and seeing as how we have the exact same color scheme you've made my mind up for me. Time to start saving, planning on 18's just to get into a more affordable tire size. 16's in E-range mud's aren't cheap, ugh. Handling is a bit floppy too, but that's the massive sidewalls lol. Looks great dude, love it!

Thumbs up

Petie, I saw these earlier today and at first look I liked them and there are a lot wheels that I think look good on an EX. IMHO, I would not put them on mine because I spend too much time in the mud. I hope you like them and they give you many miles of service.


Wow, look at this, different people having different opinions without resorting to ad hominem attacks.

I like the look. I have been looking for some nice wheels for mine (same color scheme). Only issue I have is I don't like to have to clean wheels with all those nooks and crannies. I like to look at them, but prefer something a little smoother to own. So far, haven't seen anything I like better though. The wheel mfrs. don't seem to make truck wheels without nubs or fake rivets of some sort. I have been eyeing those wheels, it's good to know how they look.

stpete, they make a lot of "attachments" these days for drills and things that make cleaning them a lot easier than it was 10 years ago. Personally I would never use them as they can wear out fast and they are costly but just letting you know they are out there I think "Mothers" and "Foose" both make them.

18's aint cheap either!

But then again, I am running 37's on my truck, and that might have a wee bit to do with the price I pay!

To the ether I say, fallacious posts? They do not exist here in FTE land!

Yeah, I've tried pretty much all of it. Toothbrush still works best for the "nubs" on my wifes Acadia wheels. The drill attachments make a 10 minute job take 15 and still don't get into the small nooks and crannies. Still prefer smooth and simple for my own wheels. Wallymart wheel cleaning brushes work well with those.
