Benatc1's Big Black to be named later build thread 2.0

Oh man, sucks they are out of stock! I got them through discount tire direct, but they are 20" wheels so maybe that's the difference in their stock- I paid 378 a tire plus the certificate and whatever else fee wise, free shipping..I too think it will be a nice stance, jeep will be a toy only here in a couple weeks too, so it'll all be good!

That's rite! I forgot that those are the 20" slabs. I can't wait to see what they will look like on the 37s. Did you repaint the rings?
I found some online for 1700 delivered for 5 so might have to jump on them. But would prefer to support a vendor on here. I seen the STT pros in action in person for the first time 2 weeks ago and the did very well and look awesome.

I decided not to paint, just cleaning them up and polishing them, with the black and silver theme of the jeep I think I'll be good, I wonder how long the back order is on the 17s?

How are you polishing them? I'm getting used slabs and thought I would clean the rings a little as well

Basically took a grinder and smoothed out a lot of the big dings, being careful not to take off to much, then have an 80 grit sanding wheel to smooth it out, hen fine wire wheel, cleaned it up with mineral spirits, then polish it with mothers aluminum polish. I still have 3 to go so I'll post up some pics

Should look good! I had my ring powdercoated black about 7 months ago. They are pretty beat up now and will just be hitting them with the rattle can this time.
I have found the 37x13.50 stt pros online but just wish I could get them from someone that supports the forum like DT.
I look forward to seeing the 37s with 20" slabs!

Cooper STT Pros 37x13.5r 20 on 20" ATX Slabs Had to run 1 3/8 adapters to 5x5.5. Really happy with how they turned out, Thanks again Eddie for the good deal on the wheels! Gotta go flex it out to make sure I'm not rubbing anywhere but looks like it's good so far. Pretty beefy stance if you ask me.

Few before pics
