Decided to go ahead and get the 17s - I figure if EVO runs them on their rig it'll be good enough for what I put it thru. Also a heck of a lot easier (and cheaper) getting the tires in 17s. Ordering Nitto Terra Grappler 37".
Plus if I get something else in the future they'll monut up fine on my wife's stock JK.

^^^ !!!! Yea I searched the net for 3 days looking for 20s. I think WOL must have gotten a 20" ring somehow and mounted on his spyderlock 20s?

I have the bolt style that sticks out a bit. Just spent two days at Rousch Creek and didn't have any problems. But there is the potential. I'll change to the flush, Allen style bolts when I change my hardware.
But I like the AEV a lot. So that's my vote.

I was in the same boat and choose to run the ATX slabs. I had them for about a month when I get my 60's they are going to be 8 lung and I am going to run the walker evans cause i am going to run 20" wheels. For now on the 37's the slabs are a awesome wheel.

I run Walker Evan's and absolutely love them. I have also had the AEV's, a good wheel, but not a great wheel, just doesn't stand up to the same hard wheeling abuse as other makes such as ATX, Walker Evans, Racelines, Trail Ready, Poison Spyder, etc. Have you ever seen a race rig of any kind, or in any class wearing AEV's to the start line......ummmm, no. If I could do it over, my JK would probably be wearing ATX Slab's had they been available at the time of my build. I still think the Walker's look better.
