They are pro comps. 15x8 with 3.75 BS. Brushed aluminum, which after a while is a real PITA to keep rust free. I should have gotten them clear coated when new. I do love the bling though.

Thank you! The Easter eggs is dead on, because no one ever notices the cutouts

Was going to ask you the same thing. I see you're in NY as well, what are your plans for winter mode?? I love the look of polished but don't want to have to change tires/wheels out for the different seasons.

I run this setup year round. Which doesn't help the wheels stay clean!

Since my Jeep is Commando Green, I found a surplus blackout light and wired it into my rock lights. I would have put it on my fenders if I had any.

California DMV introduced a series of "retro" license plates from the 50's, 60's, and 70's that had the colors from those respective decades. I got the black 50's plate not because I was going retro, but because it matched the body color of my JKUR, but I guess I'm retro nevertheless

Stupid app wasn't letting me add pictures last night.

I've heard about blackout lights, but never seen one in person. Do you have any pictures of it working?

My phone takes crappy pictures at night, and I'm on deployment now. You can see it on the ground, but it's not much. They're mainly meant for using NVGs while you're driving in a convoy.
