Man...The only thing that I see wrong with those is all the bolts. Man I cant wait to tighten 18 bolt on my AE locks. But I could imagine tightening that many!!! Just a thought. Anyone have any problems?

Yellowsub has 36 bolt MRTs. No problems, it just take a hellofa long time to mount tires!

took me almost 3.5 hour to mount 4 tires on the rims (not including putting them on the truck) but I must have done something right, since I haven't lost any noticable (abnormal) amount of air in the past year, including 8 months of sitting untouched in the drive way.... just took my time and torqued them in 5lb increments, in an even pattern, and went around 3 full times after the 15lb spec was reached ..... Mike if you need someone to drink all your beer while you mount the tires - call me :D


or just bring it all over here and I'll drink my own beer :flipoff2:

I'm not special ordering anything, so I'm sure that had something to do with it. But even with a special offset or bolt pattern, they are claiming that they can deliver in 2 weeks.

I was wondering what the difference is between the 18s and the 36 bolt wheels?

Hey how much does all the hardware weigh?
Can you balance those bead locks?
If you don't mind, what ya pay for em?
I was thinking of getting a set from them, haven’t talked to them yet, but I saw a set on Dennis's E.B. and the Fab Ford show at knotts Berry Farm.

I don't know the weight, but my 36B MRT with 37x13 boggers balanced as good as my 35" generals on chrome mods ever did....just take your time and center the wheelin the tire and follow the torque pattern in small increments, too much in on cycle will "push" the tire off center...

They ran out of 8 lug centers a while ago, so they are waiting on the machine shop to stamp them out again
