JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Thumbs up New shoes to install! Black XD Hoss & 35's...

Got my XD or KMC Hoss wheels today, and the rock rings to keep em from getting completely destroyed. 17x9 4.5 backspacing... They are solid, look well built and have a great finish. I thought it was a little cheap that the center caps are those plastic clip on's though. Gonna wrap em in 35x12.5 BFG KM's. Was a little disappointed that the bolts that I removed from the bead of the wheel are not long enough to go through the rock ring, its plastic spacer and into the wheel... So, gotta pick up some of those tomorrow. I'll get them mounted and on the Jeep at least tomorrow, and hopefully the rings on too. I cant wait to hit the trail after going from 33's to 35's!

God I love those rims !!! My black 2dr is beggin for that exact setup ? Please post pics when mounted. How much did the psuedo beadlocks run per wheel ? I found the Hoss black 18's for $169 a piece so not too bad there.
