Default Custom rock-rings.. wutcha think?

Im currently running Procomp 8179 on Kumho Venture 315/70r17 tires..
These wheels can fit rock-rings that procomp sells seperatly, but i desided to have a shop make me something a little different.

there not mounted yet.. but here they are freshly cut.. wutcha think?

Looks nice. One thing to think of is a cut-out area for your valve stem. Look at bead lock wheels for ideas. I have the rock-rings for my procomps, and have lined up one of the holes to access my valve stem.

I don't think he has any worries unless he tries to sell them. I think he's fine having them for himself.

Alright i just finished these last night. wut you guys think?

i couldnt match the procomp bolts in the wheels.. so the holes had to be tapped which wasnt hard at all. then had to drill the holes in the rings to match the rim and a little flat black rustoleum and vuala..got some pretty cool rockrings..
