Arrow Changed The Looks Of My Disco A 'Bit'

Got my AB steel wheels in today, went and immediately had the tires mounted and balanced. Made a HUGE difference.

The installer that did it was a great guy and even pulled the valve stems that where already in the rims and put these on it for me.

looks real nice...I'd go bigger on the tires but I'm one of the few that likes the guy's rover with the 49 inchers on it. I have the same color and had never thought about using black wheels but they look good

Looks good. You need to get the black lug nuts though.

Looks nice. Do you have a side by side before/after comparison? Might look into the black steel lugs and black plastic hub caps to finish the black out look..

Looks really good. Making me want to drop the $$ for a lift even more....

Those lug nuts are not safe to run on steel wheels, they will vibrate loose, read my LRO post and e-mail to you, Don't drive it.

looks good man... but yeah like mike said those lugs arent designed for those wheels... i had a wheel come clean off a car due to incorrect lugnuts once... u think u freak out when you get a flat, wait till your whole wheel/tire combo passes you on the highway...

Thanks for the compliments.

I'll be getting a slightly bigger and more aggressive tire for them fairly soon, but nothing that's going to kill my gas mileage too much. I've got 34" SuperSwampers on another set of rims for that if I really need something.

I wasn't aware of the lugnut thing or I wouldn't of put them on. They're just the lug nuts off of the stock 16 inch wheels that I had swaped over when the rims were.

Best thing I could do for a 'Before and After' picture for you okdiscoguy was this.
