I had a buddy of mine install it. He owns his own business called Auto Werx in Santa Fe. Took him like 2 hrs. Then I took it to Bayside Frame to get it aligned.


PM me if you need Autowerx #...

Yeah me too....

My wheels and tires showed up Tuesday but upon opening the boxes, we found some nasty looking tool marks on the machined finish part of the wheels. We also had some weird looking discoloration on the sides of some of the spokes on the machined finish... For $400 a wheel, this was unacceptable to me so I had them send them back and ordered another set from BMF... We also sent BMF some pics of the wheel's flaws prior so they could inspect the next set... I should have the next set on Monday or Tuesday of next week... Fingers crossed...

I believe your wheels should stick out about 1-1.5" with that offset, I have +18 5.5 BS and they stick out about an 1"


Yeah I figure they will stick out ATLEAST 1.5".... A little more then I wanted but.... that is the only offset they come in and I just couldn't find any other wheels I liked as much as the BMFs.... I wanted a glossy black wheel and there ain't many out there...atleast not that look good.

Hopefully they don't look too obnoxious or spit stuff onto my fenders all the time..

those terra grapplers dont really have an aggressive tread pattern, so i dont think they will sling to many rocks.

good luck!

71 Vette... 657hp 496" in it, stock appearing...



Yeah I hope the next set of wheels are better then the first set....For that kind of money for wheels, anything less then 98% perfect is unacceptable...

Finally a got a good set of BMFs in with no blemishes..... These heavy, wide tires definitely put a dent in the acceleration but....over all they ride pretty well for an AT tire......Definitely a rougher ride then the stock spongy Wrangers...... Looks like I am gonna have to put a 1" block in the back...for some reason now my rear is sitting about 3/8" lower then the front......That ain't gonna cut it. I am thinking the Truxx 1" block which should give me 3/4" lift in the rear should be perfect....About 1/2" rake...hopefully..
