Title: Hummer rims and 37's

This is a pretty darn good deal! I would love to run these. But they are HEAVY! 125-150 pounds each depending if you run the beadlocks or not. Each wheel can be made to fit your bolt pattern from 5 on 4.5 - MOGS.

Those Goodyear Wranglers are heavy tires and don't flex well. The PVC rings only add 19lbs.  The magnesium and the rubber run-flats weigh a bit more.

I really like the no-nonsense look of the wheels but you sort of lose that with the different centers.  Not sure if I would want to run such a heavy setup on a 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern.

I'm strongly considering them as I need a new set of street tires.  Not gonna give up the TSL's on the trail.

seems like a descent deal but wow thats a ton of weight at the wheels.  those rims are heavy and tires are really heavy.  i wouldnt consider them without a beefed 44/8.8 setup or 60 setup with alotta gearing

I ran Recentered H1 rims and 37" Iroks on my CJ.  They ate stock dana 44 parts like crazy.   Switched to a 35 spline D60 rear and that was fine.  Front 44 was switched to Alloy shafts and they stayed together most of the time.  Recentered H1 + PVC ring + 37" tire is around 130-150 lbs depending on the tire.  A real treat taking those on and off the jeep
