Hey all,

Anyone running these wheels? I need pictures and your opinion of them. Also, where are they made? Thanks!

I have them. They are the same or close to stock BS. I might have a pic in my gallery, can't check right now cause I'm on my phone but I will post one later. They are obviously also heavier than the stock aluminum since they are steel.

I'm not worried about BS, though it looks like they are 1/2" smaller than stock (Jeep uses them with 35s on many show vehicles with a 1" spacer).

I would think "winter wheels" are wheels to have better snow tires on so you don't have to swap the tires twice a year.

MOPAR sells them as a Winter/Offroad wheel to use instead of the pretty alloys.

Anyone know where they are made?
