Good. Especially since those are the one's ATX decided to clone off of.

Me - I've currently got a set of Trail Ready HD's and Raceline Monster's....both have been good. Can't complain but TR are easier to install. Less bolts to torque on the ring.

Good wheels, but on the heavy side. Other thing people seem to dislike is how the ring likes to catch and hold rocks, mud, etc, and subsequently how hard it is to clean that stuff out.

If not for the pricing on ATX wheels, I would have gone with Trail Ready.

Good point. Just cleaning out the mud on the narrow rings for the Monster Beadlocks was a pain. I avoid the deep mud pits now especially with the bigger rock ring on the Trail Ready's.

They're heavier than the ATX slabs?

Spyderlock says 45lbs on their website. Not sure if that includes the ring or not.

They are heavy, I agree with that.

Besides that, I think they are great. They are magnets for rocks, but that could be said of any wheel with an outer headlock rim.

Absolutely no complaints from my end.

Very strange, this guy is going on all the different forums posting similar questions and then never returning to the threads he's started? Maybes he's just wanting to see thoughts and not take part in he discussion buts seems odd.
