Question for the judges. If the vehicle is a total waste, would terminally lame wheels be an additional waste?

:) Nice, shiny rims on a car is ok. On a Jeep they don't last that long.

I like these.

Brake dust doesn't show.

Bill,

Here are some more for you. WTF are they thinking? There might be a couple in there that you already have on your list.

Mine don't have holes, so brake dust doesn't make it to the outside of the wheel at all. :)

I looked at those once but figured you couldn't get enough air flow to the brakes. Plus you can't take a brake temperature easily with rims like that.

Good point. I've never had problems with overheated brakes, but I don't usually put myself in situations where the brakes are likely to get too hot. Heaviest load they're likely to see is when I'm pulling my 14' boat, and even then I prefer to use engine braking when I can. I don't even own an infrared thermometer, so the temp taking thing is moot anyway.

Plus, they came with the Jeep. :)

How do you get the mud out from those guys? Surely not easy.

Definitly not for dirt track racing, that's for sure. :)

I'd say a nice river crossing would do the trick.

That would work, but I usually just stick a hose in there for a few minutes per wheel while I'm hosing off the underside of the body.
