"Rubijon" has a set in black. They are Stockton "Smoothies".

Here's a couple pics I found of Rubijon's wheels....

Hey, thanks! I really like them, they remind me of the wheels I had on my Defender 110.

I think they're pretty cool. Just really basic/utility style. Pretty nice as long as your rig is rugged enough to match.

They would look even better with a SpynTec hub sticking out of the middle.
I heard they are working on a full floating rear axle conversion, too.

I would be hesitant given that it's a solid wheel and that's going to make it a lot harder for your disk brakes to vent heat. Could contribute to some serious brake fading.

Brake fading? What...as you're slowing down from one of those 190 MPH Autobahn blasts? That's rich.
