AMAZING GENUINE DISC - A MUST BUY!

Before purchasing these CDs I had many questions, all of which were answered immediately by Rugged Ridge within seconds of posting. Rugged Ridge is the real deal. My worries about swapping OEM drives went away once I hit the road. I fitted these rims to my 2010 JK and couldn't be happier. These rims look and feel great on the road. I got her to 85 mph with no issues and no vibration. It took a little while to glue the tire (I had to use an industrial vacuum cleaner) but once they fitted like a glove. Perfectly centered on the axle, exactly as stated. I have a stock lift with everyday tires (Cooper Discover AT3 - 255/75/17) and my main concern is highway driving. The OEM rims are 7.5 wide compared to 9 wide on them, once the rims are fitted they push the tire over the fender a bit which looks amazing. Actually, my regular tires look like an upgrade. I haven't noticed a worse difference in my ride, which was my initial concern. The drives were professionally boxed (and I reused all of the packaging when boxing the OEM drives for storage); the quality is excellent (I was concerned about outsourcing to China, but they are excellent); Delivery was only 2 days (Prime); and the finishes, including the center cap, are excellent. I couldn't find a better rim for the price. I am a lifetime customer of Rugged Ridge. There is no better feeling than buying a product knowing it is of the highest quality. I wish Rugged Ridge and its founders continued success and prosperity. The only thing that confuses me are the warning stickers on each rim which don't peel off easily. It took a while to remove them without scratching the surface. Here are a few photos. Treat yourself and buy these CDs, you won't regret it.
