| How is everyones black wheels holding up in the rocks? Im wanting black wheels but im wondering how well they are holding in the rocks do the rocks mess the paint up around the edges of the wheels real bad? Ive got stock wheels now and the aluminum lip is chewed up pretty good but its not that noticable bc its aluminum if you know what i mean | |

| It depends a lot on what tires you are running. A lot of tires have rim protection at the edges that really help protected the rims. I have the black wheels that came on my XP and they have held up well. I have noticed some of the clear coat coming off, but that isn't because of the rocks. | |

| I have no problem at all with the spokes on mine. They look like new. However, the red beadlock ring looks like it has spent 6 years in Afganistan running over IEDs. They have just about as much red left as there are scratches in them. | |

to much leverage..... AMEN! Offset wheels and wheel spacers need to be thrown in the garbage as fast as possible. | |
