I went wheeling for the weekend- my new wheels were only 3 days old, and got rock rash on them. Yup... I'm glad I only shelled out $75 per wheel


I'm not too worried about scratching them up as I don't really do any wheeling on rocks and don't get too carried away on any terrain. My stock aluminum wheels are pretty much like new and they have been through as much as I plan on putting these through. Since I'm going to 35's with only a BB I won't get too radical or I'll have (get) to change my fenders.

i like those wheels, but not really a big fan of those maxis mudders. id spend a little more money on some km2's. a good cheaper mud tire is the firestone destination m/t's.

I'd be all over those if they made a 35 but 33 is as big as they go
