Wheels just got to the house today. Pix will be up tomorrow of the actual wheels, but they are the Black Mamba MR1's in 17x8.
I also have the Hankook DynaPro ATM RF10's on the way in 255/70/17

Nice seats. I need some leather seats. Mine stain way too easily.

I'm a big interior nut and the 2 tone leather was a BIG selling point for me on this ride. Course, my 02 has cloth and it's way more comfortable, IMO.

I hear that the WK leather seats are more comfortable.
If anything, I'd rather have suede. I want seats like the SRT but don't want the "SRT" logo.

I loooooove my Overland seats. Super comfy and clean real easy...minus the suede. But it's ok, I have a no eating policy in the dubK!

My Mom has a 05 WK with cloth and it's about the same as my leather as far as comfort goes. My 02 is far better than either IMO and MGFO (My Girl Friend's Opinion, lol). Much thicker and has more cushion. Just feels right to me. I've actually had a few people comment about how comfortable my WJ is. But the look of the WK's interior and dash is just SWEET!!! Jeep did well

I've had people comment on how comfortable my cloth seats are in my WK. I don't care for leather seats....I just hate the water stains.

The wj had the most comfy seats of any year Jeep. Why'd they change it is beyond me!

Nice pictures. I love the two tone. What do you use to clean your seats?

I've been using this lately. It's pretty good stuff.
I'm getting excited to get home from work and check out the wheels. Sounds like the tires will be delayed until the first of next week, though. Unless I get really lucky.

Feels like Christmas. . .
Here you can see the lip next to the spokes that hides the weights so you cannot see them from the front of the wheel.

Also got my TPMS sensors.
I can't believe I got all 4 for $50 new in the box OEM Chrysler parts.
I did a test fit, they clear the brakes fine. . .
Talk about some offset. . . .

those seem to sit very close to how my moabs sit with 1.25" spacers, so unfortunately you will probably need to fold your pinch weld.

I'm hoping since I went with the 255/70s that I'll be ok. I really don't want to have to do the pinch weld if I can get away from it.
Mine have 4.75" backspacing and the Moab's have 6" backspacing, IIRC. So basically it's exactly like your wheels with the 1.25" spacers
How bad were you's hitting with the 255/75's ?

Yeah. That's what it's looking like. If I had the slightest offset with the tires I have, I would have to fold the pinch also.

Damn, Oh well.
You guys think they will look good spaced out that far with no lift?

mine were rubbing pretty badly, you'll have to test it out, it might not be as bad with your tires since they aren't as big and aren't mt's. honestly though, the pinch weld is not a big deal to do so if it comes down to it, don't panic.

Our tires are mud terrains though. You can't really compare the KM1 to the tires you ordered.
Ours will diffinately rub before yours will.
It's going to look good. Trust me.

Me either!!! I put my new TPMS sensors in today. Had to put some weatherstripping under them since they don't sit on the rim like they would on the stock rim.

Be sure you test them with soapy water after mounting the tires. Otherwise the will always leak. You need to be careful with sensors cause the leak easy and break easy. They should be torqued to 50 lbs.

^^^ Cool, Thanks for the tip. I torqued them pretty tight, but didn't want to go overboard. I'll check them to make sure they are at 50lbs tomorrow.

Nope, I tried to get UPS to let me drive to Roanoke and pick them up yesterday, but they would not let me do it, said I have to wait until they deliver them Monday.
nice rims!!! is that brilliant black?
Thanks, No, mine is the regular black, lol My best friend has a Rocky Mountain one just like mine that is the brilliant black, though.
I can't wait to see the final result. So much black :drool:
OT but what are those clips in your vents (last pic, first post)??
They were some air freshener things that were in it, I already took them out.
