Default new wheels
Just got my replacements for my ASA's. I had four broken wheels studs after a 1500 mile drive earlier this year. Found out the JH8's I had were 5x114.3, not 5x115 like they were advertised to be. After dealing with Tire Rack, they gave me a nice discount on these. Just waiting on the tires to get here.

What'cha think?

They're Bremmer Kraft wheels, 18x8. I lose half an inch in width, but they're roughly the same weight and I think they'll look much better, and most importantly not break studs!

Waiting on tires. Just a teaser so far! Hopefully after this weekend I'll go get the tires, they're a couple hours away at my brothers house.

Ya man, it wasn't pretty.

This was the time I had four broken. I saw two were missing when we got back from Florida. When I removed the wheel, two more were cracked to the point where they fell off when I put my Impact gun on it.

I pretty much did. It got to the point where I keep enough tools in the trunk to replace all the wheel studs on the side of the road!
