was thinking gun metal gray but ill see how well they clean up. im going to mount a 31x10.5 on at work and see how they line up. im trying to find a wheel that will line up even with the fender to keep that clean look. plus i dont want the tires to pick up rocks and chip up the paint. after i cut the fenders on the xj and with the 35x12.5 tires, it chipped the **** out of the paint.

Yea that would suck since the paint is so nice and shiny. I know with my Moabs they align perfectly to the fenders, so maybe some rims with that backspacing?

Gun metal. I like. I have that paint for my bumper. Just need to paint it since its still primered but on the Jeep. Keep the fenders on this one right?

We should call the no trimming fenders the AeroSynch way hahaha. Too bad they don't make a 1/10 ZJ body so you can replicate it.

haha yeah man i had the ravines on with the 31" A/Ts that were bald and they rubbed all over so hopefully the 1" spacers will get rid of that. i sold the old ravines and these new ones are from a texas jeep so theres no corrosion whereas the old wheels were corroded bad.

hah yeah was gonna do a 2" but i dont want to cut my bumper at all. i want to leave it looking as stock as possible for body lines. i did cut off the little lip on the bottom that you cant see when i had those bald 31s, it caught. i was thinking of tinting the lights but im not sure how it would look with the white. ill see though. and eh, im probably not going to do black wheels right now, maybe down the road but for now, i like the way the aluminum on the ravines looks.

as for any update, took out my HID fogs and put in silverstars. now im back to halogen headlights. i miss seeing everything with the HIDs but dont miss how blinding they were. i thought they would do better in the stock housings. the fogs were great with HIDs..might end up doing those down the road but ive already sold all the lights haha

got these in today



bought them off of a guy on jeepforum. my 31" KM2s are on back order for who knows how long and sounds like any size i want is...but we have a set of 265/75/16 KM2s in the back of our shop. only downside is they are load range Es but from what i hear, it wont ride to bad. ill probably throw them on my stock wheels for now. they measure out to about a 31.5 so a little bigger but not much. ill see what my boss says tomorrow if i can get the 31x10.5x15s in any time sooner and if so, ill still run the ravines.

just a small update haha
