Not yet I been looking like crazy but cannot find any I pm'ed one guy about his 15x10 steelies but no response and been awhile so not sure. It is killing me though was not smart putting them in my rooms just makes me more eager to throw them on with stock rims for now.

Broke my rear window on hatch on trail and went to junkyard today to get another $36 and 12 minutes to get it out then 10 minute drive to my house and 9 minutes to get it in. Really easy I don't know why shops charge so much to put it in.

And my tire got bit my a mockison or however you spell it haha just left to fang scratches.

Just my 2 cents, I would go the with 15x8 wheels, reason being is if you air them down when you go trail riding you have less chances for the bead to spin on the wheel when aired down with the 15x8. I have had mine down to 8psi with 15x8 wagon wheels on my TJ with 33x12.5x15 MTR's.

Yeah I decided the little bit of a wider look is not worth performance plus the more my tires stick the less tight trails I can go on and down hear I have to make my own trails so it is a close fit. They cheaper to and still gonna look so much better than it does now. I need a compressor so I can air them up and deflate them.

co2 tank works great for that also. My rear bumper doubles as an air tank, I want to get a viair or 2 and put in it for OBA and if I mount them in the rear it cuts down on plumbing the entire jeep.

Been awhile since I have been on here but anyways if anybody is even looking at this deadly slow pace of a build thread...Replaced track bar but forgot my jeep was lifted 6 inches so buying a double shear... blew u joints on rear driveshaft-axle then broke yoke housing on rear axle in processes. Yoke should be here soon then ill have it going again... Going with murdered paint job. Side windows tinted to lowest legal, smoked out head and tailights. Installing rear baja lights so i can see behind me... I am going to be a new lift kit soon after paint...then saving for a 4bt cummins or stroker to drop in
