If I return my steel wheels i'm definitely getting 703s. I prefer the +25 offset to the +6 offset of my tactiks anyway, i just like the idea of rough and tumble steelies on a rough and tumble truck (and lets not pretend $$$ didn't factor in either. 5 wheels for $410 shipped and taxed? Yes please)I am using the Method "Bead Grip" 703. I like them a lot for the following reasons:
2. They are light wheels - approx 26 lbs
Why would you need to return the wheels. Load range E doesn't matter, the tires you got only weigh like 64lbs a piece, they are on the lighter side of the 35's. That's not going to make a difference at all. 37lb steel wheels that will last longer that alloy wheels and are easier to fix if they get damaged. Sounds like a win to meI got duped a little on this one. Bought the Tactik Classic 5 Spoke because Quadratec said the "shipping weight" was 30 lbs. I don't know how you make 28lb rims out of steel, but i figured Tactik is a Quadratec brand so they wouldn't lie on their own website. Well, i get the Fedex tracking number and it says they are bringing 5 40.8lb packages.... oh no. Contact quadratec and they assure me the wheels are 30lbs and it's 10.8 pounds of packaging. Sounds fishy for steel wheels to need that much packaging but whatever.
The wheels showed up yesterday. 40.8 in the box, 37.4 out of the box. The walmart special kendas are load E already. Wondering if I gotta return the steel wheels.

Same reason as stated.I am using the Method "Bead Grip" 703. I like them a lot for the following reasons:
1. Bead Grip technology works. I air down to 10-11 psi on all the badge of honor Big Bear trails with no issues at all.
2. They are light wheels - approx 26 lbs
3. The are painted a flat black that is easy to touch up after scraping them on the rocks. All 4 of my wheels have many black touch ups and nobody notices.
4. They are not expensive
