Well the fedex dude delivered my wheels and tires today. The only thing weird is the center caps had a big R instead of Granite alloy. Well after some research I found that these wheels come in several diffrent names but they are the same wheels. Anyways I really like them wasnt sure if 22's would be to big but they are just right. Here is a pic try to het more up later. Also the tires are 265/35/22 and man they come close to the shock bracket bolt above it, will these hit and damage a tire or can it hit? Thanks

Looks sweet!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent choice! Brings back memories already! :) Just a little info on them. Those wheels are sold under the TireRack flagship. They basically came up with the ideas, and then sourced out a manufacturer to make them for them. I believe whoever makes Cragar is the one that makes these. So I could see why you have a different center cap, if TireRack has further sourced them to another company. I had a conversation with the TireRack rep when these first came out before I ordered them.

Anyone ever seen them in black. They were supposed to make these in our bolt pattern last summer, but never did.

Ya it was ultra wheels company that made them. And yes they came in black and chrome but only in the six lug, trust me I searched. They are all under the AFX wheel they alos are called rubicon ans soerviegn too. I just never seen one wheel with so many names. I really like the center caps on the granites wonder if you can order just center caps.

The black came in 5 lug too but not for our cars. The pic above is from the TireRack website which shows a 5 lug version. I do believe you can order the center caps from TireRack directly.

Very nice,

I actually just posted a question about the same tire size you put on. Did you do any research as to how much you would lose performance wise when going to 22's? I currently have stock 17's on my Maggie and will make a big jump. Also...are you considering lowering it?
