What do those 39 actually measure out at ? My favourite tires but theyre always smaller than stated.

Mine are 37-1/4" tall as measured with a level across the top of the tread at 28psi.

Just replaced my rubicon wheels with these. I couldn’t be happier. They’re light, functional, and look great in my opinion. Before and after pictures…

Had a mishap with a black diy paint job and trail rash, so i pressure washed these originally silver aev saltas really close to get as much black off as possible. If you squint, this is what silver ones would look like. I'm leaning toward going with silver or a medium gray and leaving the black behind

My new to me Gladiator has black rims, thing is they were a compromise. I’m not a fan of black or most other color rims. Black makes me think of the 50’s or 60’s when people would remove the hub caps exposing the painted rims. Looked like crap then, not much better now.

Beauty is a personal opinion.

Is “machined” a color?!?

Method 315
17x8.5” & 0 offset.
Method brushed aluminum center caps.
Method black splined lug nuts.
Method black lip replacement bolts.

Yeah, yeah… “fake headlocks,” but I like them, have no need for actual headlocks, they are 26.8 pounds, hub centric - 71.50 hub bore (proper) and not black!

The outer most portion traps water and it will stay there immediately leaving an auto wash and travel 30 miles home (1/3 freeway) and still need to be wiped out.

Interesting… I’ve had the wheels since May 2022 and anytime anyone have ever asked me, I always said 26.8 pounds. I just looked again making sure my specs are correct and it says 27.8 pounds. Weird… I swear it used to say 26.8, but whatever.
