I have mine on order with the rest of my stuff. I have a white JLUR and went with a 3.5 MC GC lift with 37s on black Rock Monsters. Hopefully it will be ready in the next couple of months. Im debating if I want to paint the Hutchinson's white and leave the bolt covers black (sort of like the Black Rhino Axles) but I'm not sure until I can see them. I've heard nothing but good things other than the weight and plan on doing chromoly shafts when I regear a bit down the road.

NICE! I'm 99% sure I'm goin with MC and 37's once I get it wrapped I'm struggling between the Matte Black or the Argent leaning towards the Argent to give a slight contrast to the matte wrap

Yeah. I do like the argent as well, I'm just doing a whole black and white theme. I don't you can go wrong either way

I have had them for a long time. Argent color. I like them. The downfall. Mounting and balancing is a pain in the ass and some shops won’t even touch them. They weigh a ton. 35” Toyo and I am at 117 lbs so I really need to figure out how to change the tire in an emergency.

Agreed! I'd do black if I had a white jeep for sure

The Argent looks good! The weight is a definite concern especiallyif you need to change a tire! How do they affect your mpg's? I'm on 35's now and getting 17.5 mixed

They did not do much vs before. My MPGs have always been right around 17-18 and that is what I still get.

I know there are more than one set out there!

@mikej show them bad boys off

By any chance anyone powder coat a set? I bought them in black, but I'm thinking of powder coating the entire face white, the"ring" outside the bolts white, or inside the "ring" white. I have a white JLUR and am going with a black and white theme. I did body colored Hauk front and rear bumpers as well as fenders, so I'm thinking it would look ok. I included a VERY rough mockup in all white, if anyone has thoughts. Would like opinions as I obviously can't easily go back, lol. Thanks all!

White with the black bolt caps would look good and break up the white I think. Better keep them clean though or they will not look good with brake dust all over them.

I think it would look good as well, black lugs too!

 

[BWRubi]

Thanks! Definitely planning on black lugs. Any Thoughts on powder coating just the outside or inside? I agree all white actually looks better than I thought it would. Appreciate the insight!

 

[Goin2drt]

I would powder coat the whole wheel and beadlock. Cost isn't going to be that much more.

 

[BWRubi]

That's where I was going. Thanks guys, just wanted to make sure I wasn't out of mind haha
