Been running WE wheels for about 6 years on 4 vehicles. They work great!

I have my sights set on a set of one those beadlocks as soon as I upgrade my driveline.

I owned a set of Hutchinson's before and I prefer their design, but it is hard for me to justify the price premium over the WEs. The DOT rating is only worth so much.

I have even considered the AEVs, but at this point the WEs fit all my needs.

They are both a great choice.

Love the Hutchinsons. Zero problems. Bolts never need to be tightened.
Dual beadlock design works perfectly.
Worth every cent!

Did you add additional tint to your soft top? What did you use? Looks great.

No tint added to the already factory tinted soft top.
I do run 20% on the doors and 50% on the whole windshield.







HarryHood1, those are awesome, probably the only set I'd be tempted to swap for.

Go for the Hutchinson Rockmonsters, they are worth every dollar.
