Review on Rugged Ridge 15301.30 XHD Wheel 17x9: Gun Metal for Jeep Wrangler & Gladiator by Josh Sharp

Okay I've been critical of some RR stuff I've bought in the last year or so but these wheels are a winner. A few things to add to other reviews: 1. They are centered on the JK. Not all wheels are aftermarket. This is very important to me - assembly is much easier and the stress on the wheel is on the axle flange and not on the wheel studs.2. The 4.53 recoil on these wheels works great with no friction on a Teraflex 2.5 reel lift, Pro Comp Xtreme MT2 35. When fully bent I have more clearance in all directions than the factory 3.3. The integrated rim protectors (optional) are great. I'm not thrilled with their quality but they paid for themselves. First big run at jamboree, came back with 3 out of 4 curved treads. Saved the wheels from a massive rock and stump rash.4. As mentioned elsewhere the quality of these rims is fantastic, good powder coating, factory nuts fit, decent center caps. The packaging was fantastic too. In general very satisfied.
