Default Ultra Wheels

Wondering if any of you guys have heard anything about Ultra Wheels.....good? bad? just ok?

I can get them here local (in AK.) so I've been looking at the 185 Baja Champ

What do you think?

Thanks....

Dave

I have 17x9 Ultra Goliaths. I love them. They are mostly black tho. Not sure if you want to go that direction.

I had Ultra Thunders. They are good wheels. I sold them, but only to get beadlocks.

Default Ultra 164

I'm having a heck of a time finding any wheels up here local in AK. It looks like I can get the Ultra type 164 (made by Amercan Racing) in the 15x8, BUT.....will they fit? I can order them but if they don't fit I'm stuck with them. Does anybody know what the BS is on them, or if they know for sure if they will fit over the calipers on a 07' X...???
OR.......does anybody know a store in the lower 48 that will sell me some wheels that won't make me pay $3-400 for shipping alone...???....OUCH...!!!
Thanks Much.....
Dave

For the guys with the Thunder wheels are you running spacers. If not, is there any rubbing issues at full turn? I like the wheels and want 35" tires

I don't have spacers. Running 35". Only have rubbed when at complete max turn AND flexed to max. Then they touch a bit on control arm.
