Spend the money on wheels not spacers......................you will be better off................

Big KUDOS to Discount tire online the local store honored all the prices ................ went to see Camp at COP4x4 today to show him the wheels and he was impressed with them.

That was the big thing for me not having to grind down the calipers.........................

I'm considering these rims and started comparing to similar styles:

Green is Pro Comp, Red is Eagle, Silver is Classic II, White is MB72

I see the MB72's have a flatter looking face and smaller holes. But don't the others look identical? I saw the Pro Comp 1069s in person and really liked them.

Hell Yeeaah !! Nice JK
They look awesome. I like how they stick out a lil. Any issues with rocks flying and hitting your Jeep?
Getting me all excited for mine ... better get the rest of my money together =)

The 15x8 MB72 comes in an all matte black finish but unfortunately there have been some delays on getting this finish back in-stock. The current ETA we were given is 30-45 days. Right now we do have the machined finish available.
