Hey Guys,

 

So, I've been humming and hawwing over the last few days about new rims for my ride and just can't decide. I know I want chrome and I know I want something that cleans easy and I don't spend hours cleaning them.

 

Let me know what you guys think of these on my ride:

Or these

Or if you guys have any other suggestions let me know. I'm trying to stay under $800 for 4.

Yup. Enforcers it is. The swirly ones might look okay a lowered Tracker or Samurai.

 

Or maybe not even.

 

Not that I like those sorts of things myself.

Ok I pulled the trigger and made a deal and got the MHT's! I hope they look good. I've never in my entire life purchased after market rims without the look and feel. Hopefully, they look sweet with the right set of rubber.

 

Thanks for all your opinions!

But of all the wheels on that site, I would have chosen THESE

 

 

That is, if I didn't have an '05 (which needs 17" wheels). What a steal! I have had these wheels for 3 years and they are easy to clean. But $350 for a set of 4? That's ridiculous!

 

Somebody on this site should snap them up.

:lol::D

Those are pretty meaty looking, I'm just not a black rim guy. More of a Chrome Nut. Those Black ones would look pretty mean on your truck though!!!

 

Thanks again... and for sure pics before and after when they're installed....

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
