Anyone have these wheels? Looks like a brand new wheel. I have not seen or heard of anyone having a set of them. Any positive or negative remarks about them? I am about to place an order and was wondering if anyone had any photos of them on a truck. Sure is a great looking wheel.

Sure is a good looking wheel. I have different MKW's, and have had some slight problems with the chrome peeling around the lip during mounting, but I think it was more the tire shop than the rims. No too many shops around here can mount 37's, so I had a hard time finding one that could. It seems that the rim sits really tight in the bead protector section of the Toyos. I was watching them mount them, and as one of the beads sat, I saw the chrome pull right off of the lip. It was crazy. All was covered under warranty except shipping, but was a pain to take it off to ship them back. I also had one wheel the install place scratched, ordered another, it was chipped and sent it back, and now finally I'm all set. Whew, whatta pain. I think my next wheels will be beadlocks so I can do them myself. :cool:

Thanks for the info. Not really what I wanted to hear. I guess that I will take the plunge. I just have not found any other wheels that I like. I will post pics when I get them mounted.
