Looking for 5 wheels for 3b. Anyone have experience with the new 16" wheels currently on the market?
Have had been dissatisfied with other parts in the past. But they seem to be the only source.

This is on my list too. I'm running split rims with studded tires. Soon, I cant use them until next winter.
This is the best price I have found. They seem to have gone up some recently. Let us know if you have a better source. Micah |

Do these wheels come from MDJuan? If so, the wheels are not as strong as the originals. If you torque the lug nuts down too tight, you will distort the holes along with the center hole. if you just drive your jeep on road, they are OK but if you want to wheel off-road, they will dent and distort far easier than KH wheels.

The catch is always the shipping charge. They want $46 each for shipping. Amazon included.
I might see if Summit will price match. At least I can get some Summit Bucks to use on other parts. Micah
