I liked the Rockstars better. PSC's are sick, but your rig looked awesome with the XD.

I hate to tell you, but spyderlock is now offering pre-coated wheels. If you want to do it now, you will have to take everything back apart. The spyderlocks do not have a clearcoat either. Mine have lots of oxidizing from the salt here. You should decide quickly if you want them coated. I just painted mine before i assembled them and left the outer ring bare. Looks great, but i would have powder caoted them 1st if i had know this.

Im thinking about ordering the red anodized rings for mine when the new tire go on. They take a beating on the rocks around here. Did you get it aligned yet?
