I have them in titanium and black and love them. I've got a ton of rock gashes in them and they are holding up. The center caps are crappy plastic but I fabbed my own out of aluminum.

I have these same wheels in the same sytle as KeithVegas. Love em. Agree on the wheel caps. You can't tell they are crappy till you take them off or really look closely at them.

What are your concerns? I bought them partly because when I took an offroad class the instructor who also owns a Jeep rental and tour company had them on her own rig. I love the look, rugged enough to be at home in the rocks but with enough style and not on every Jeep at the mall. I also figure if she trusts them on a rig that will spend more time off road than on, I can trust them.

That said, I don't know of any wheels people have any problems with. Smash aluminum hard enough and it will break. Doesn't matter the brand.

I had a set of wheels that the paint started chipping and just faded horrible. Just don't want that.

I have a set of 909B wheels and I like them for the most part. They look good and hold up up well. I don't like the center caps. As Keith mentioned, they are plastic and although it looks like two bolts hold them on, it's only one. I you tighten it down to much, the opposite side of the cap pops up, but if it's too lose they tend to loosen up more. The other issue is that the lug nut holes are pretty tight. I use a regular socket to get the lug nuts off because my impact socket won't fit.

Got it. I know one of the guys in our club has had his for a couple years without paint problems. All the others that I've seen including mine were less than a year old so not a great example but never heard or saw an issue.
