So I got rid of the steelies when I got 33" rubber so that I can do my own tire changes (couldn't lift them). I'm pretty pleased with running the Outlaw 2 wheels, but they haven't held up well on the rocks. No, they're not bent, but even tho I have aired down as low as 8psi at times, the edges (rims) of the wheels keep getting chewed up pretty badly. Seems the metal is real soft or I suck at this. Or is that just how they roll? (pun intended, LOL )Either way, I'm afraid that soon I might not have enough rim left to hold a bead.
Does anyone else have this problem with aluminum wheels?
Mine are American Racing altho there are other brands with the same design. Is there another style/brand that will hold up better? I'd like to stick with the same style if at all possible since I also run Outlaw 2 on my ATs in the winter.
Suggestions? Pics would really help - and if you have a (cheap) set for sale I might even consider getting them ...
