I love the wheels. IMO they have the perfect amount of "shine" to them. They were taken care of before I got em. When I washed the truck last night water just beaded off. The tires aren't bad. I think if I go with 33's again I'm going to get some sort of lift on it (maybe a 2"BL).... I know, I know, LOL. I need to put the flares on and see what you guys think of those with the tire/wheel combo.

Surprisingly, the tires aren't horrible on the road. Much quieter than I expected. Of course, they aren't new either.

I'm telling you. I loved my claws. Had I not needed bigger tires with the lift, and got a killer deal on my tires, I'd be running them. My X-Terrains have a somewhat similar tread pattern.

I had cepeks as well but the black/polished ones. Cepek's actually are an "off road" wheel. They put a protective coating over the wheel to keep it from getting scratched. I hit mine with a ratchet numerous times when putting them on or taking them off and I never really noticed any scratches. If there were any, they were very very minimal. When I sold them they looked brand new, not like a 9 month old wheel. The buyer actually thought they were brand new because I'd put them back in the boxes they came in.

You're absolutely right on both accounts. I know these wheels are at least 5 years old and they look better then some I've seen that are half that age. As far as the claws; I'm not sure I'd want to waste these tires driving 50 miles + every day. Right now its a DD, but that may change next year. I know I'll be asking for advice when its time to get new rubber, and I know where u stand LOL.

LMAO! Not sure. I think they were taking up space in the garage. It was actually a woman and her son. Not sure which one had the them originally, but I bent the both of them over (theoretically speaking of course).
