Need wheels.. where?
I am looking for some slotted mags for my 89 EB. Does anyone have any ideas one good places to get used slotted mags? I have called all of the used wheel shops in Denver and no one seems to have any, yet I see these wheels fairly often. Also, for 33x12.5 tires should I get 15x8 or 15x10? Thanks.

im not from denver so cant help you to much there. but for your second question, you should run the 15x8 rim. the 10's will expose to much rim and if your out 4x4in it will be easier to loose the bead , causing your tire to go flat. the 8's will alow you to run real low tire pressure if you have to and still hold air.

If you look at most manufacturers recommendations for rim width, they will tell you that a 12.5" wide tire needs a minimum 8.5" wide wheel. Not to say they don't work, but there might be some warranty issues if you do have a problem with the tires on an 8" rim.

Bought my Mickey Thompson Challengers at http://www.desertrat.com/garagesale/...heel_deals.htm
Otherwise known as DesertRat.com. They had been mounted on a display truck had maybe 150 miles on them. They always have a pretty good selection of used wheels in stock. And considering they are MT's the price was pretty good too. I will post a pic of one of the wheels in my gallery since I don't think there is a decent shot of one of them in the pics that are there now.

I've had pretty good luck with ABZ Truck parts - down off Evans and Sante Fe (just south of PT's). They usually have a few Broncos around and haven't failed me yet. You might get lucky on some aftermarket wheels. 303-936-7359
