I've been thinking "new wheels" myself and the AR 767s or eq Rock Crawlers
(black) would look great with my Hunter Green YJ Sahara... I guess 8" would
be better than 7" if you have decent lift for a bigger than stock tire.

Re: Need to buy new Wheels??

Thanks All,

I like those AR 767's or the equivelent. You guys won't believe it, but
I've had a crack in one of my rims for about 6 months. It would loose about
10 Psi / day. I smeared some of this epoxy stuff called Metal PC into and on
the hair crack. My wheel holds pressure, but it's time to make it right.
I'm going to do the spare too. That way I can put in to the regular tire
rotation periods. My current tires only have about 5 - 6000 miles on em' I
think I'll be okay still at this mileage. Their wearing in good. No signs
of irregular patterns.
