Be careful with Sahara rims, some of them are 18's.

They look great, but mine are taking a pounding. I'll take some pictures of them tomorrow. The spokes catch hell being so far out on the rim. I've dinged the bead area pretty good a few times also. I surely can't complain about performance. They've gripped the tire great and balance well. They are aluminum though and show scars for sure.

Just so you know, not that I think one is better than the other,there is a difference between Sahara and Rubi wheels. Only in the finish though. I think the Sahara wheel is painted with a clear coat and the Rubi wheel is polished with a clear coat. Something like that anyway.

Why don't you get with Seth? If he doesn't run the Rubi wheels, you could buy those.

Well, today, I decided to machine the lip of my rims.  Didnt have a chance to clean them afterward, btu I think it looks nice.  Your opinions?

The contrast of the machined lip looks sweet!

Looks nice. It would hide some scars too!
I've grown tired of this.

I like the machine finish Chris.  Looks better than the rubis would I think.
