we've run a set for a long time and, while they look awesome, we now prefer the atx slabs. being that atx makes the spiderlocks, they are exactly the same wheel only without the star in the middle. over time, we found that the star got caught up in rocks and logs and they get all bent up causing the wheel to get out of balance.

I like the atx wheels also. I would not think the sypderlocks would really get hung up like that. Thanks for the info. I ultimately want a wheel the protects the valve stem. I dunno how but i seem to get them ripped off more often then i care to talk about. haha

Kinda like a dual stabalizer, has its issues but looks bad ass!!!....lol I think spyder locks are the coolest looking wheels out there but the price makes ya kinda step back a bit....

I've had mine for a few months now and love them! I used Airsoft BB's to balance the tires (I did them myself) and have no issues. I don't use my Jeep as a DD though, so you might need to consider that (but I would still do it).

Ran them on past two rigs, love em and they are beefy! 40" toyos, 40" km2s and 38" km2s. Daily driver and wheeler. Ran down the road smooth at 70+ without being balanced supports high quality control.
