I wouldnt get them. They look like they'll melt just sitting there.


And for those that dont know what a dune grappler is..

It's a Nitto Dune Grappler.

looks like a walmart mongoose bike tire. all for show, looks like there would be no traction. not hat in just don't like them. reminds me of something that would be on a wrangler with a **** load of chrome and bumpers and winch where the jeep has never seen a speck of dirt before. lol
