I see a lot of answers reiterating that the rims must be steel, is having alloy rims a deal breaker?

Best knowledge would say yes. The retaining clips are steel, not stainless and unless the diameter is exactly as a steel wheel you could not install.

The discs have steel grippers on the backside, that are designed to be used on steel rims. Alloy rims would likely get scraped up pretty bad, if you put these on them. They might stay on, but eventually the material removed on the alloy would reduce the tension of the disc grippers. Less tension means a greater chance of losing them. Steel rims are designed for the use of wheel covers, and I'm certain most alloys are not.

Alloy wheels aren't designed to accept wheel covers.They are only meant for steel rims.

I run them on a 4WD S10 chevy stock 7" Aluminum 15" wheel without any problems and when I had a 1986 CJ7 I used the stock rims as well.

I would recommend running rims with inner and outer bead locks. These tires are very soft. At high speeds these tires "grow" quite a bit. If you are planning on just using them for crawling you won't have to worry about that. If you want to run them for higher speeds you may have to trim your fenders if your body doesn't clear them.

Has to be steel 5 spoke.17 inch rim. Valve stem has to between the spokes. As seen in pic. They are specific to certain models

Tire irons if you haven't already tried using some of those. Some rims can be more difficult than others and make the task go from just requiring pressure and manipulation from your hands and thumbs to requiring tire irons to leverage the tire over the rim

I would say yes. My husband replced ours. We had very squeaky wheels, but at that time they were metal.

When I received this wheel set it came built; I am not sure if it was by hand or machine or how I might go about determining that. They did not need to be trued, and just required installation of rim tape before they were ready to ride. I might add that I commute daily on very rough streets and these rims have been great. Very thick gauge spokes as well.

Rim itself is made out of steel but the back board is made out some kind of plastic. If you try to dunk hard, it looks like the board will be break easily.

I have never rode on the wheel set you speak of, but the Aeromax is one tough and strong rim. I was 250 when I started using them and they stayed true and I just put 700x23 tires on them and they hold fast and go fast

They have clips that attach to the outer lip of your steel rim. I encountered a problem where one of the clips was located in the same location as a wheel balance weight. My solution was to remove the hubcap mounting clip in that location. Be aware that these are a tight fit and will require some muscle to instal as you work your way around the wheel one clip at a time.

I wouldn't think so. You should be ok even with carbon wheels. You could go to your local rei or performance bike store and check it out before you buy.

You need not worry about the rim, you get the tire and rim both. Just make sure the 5/8" bore and the bolt patern match and your good to go. I hope this helps.

I have polished aluminum with this product and gotten excellent results but never an aluminum car wheel rim. My experience tells me it is definitely safe but you will need to determine this for yourself. Buy a small tube and try using some on a small area. Only way to be sure!

Its a per rim price. Any rim set that is non stock is going to cost between 4-500 min. Aluminum and ultra light steel rims set you back way more because of the light weight. Problem is if you are high in the torque numbers they will fail.So if you are putting down 3-400 stay away from these. They will not survive that many launches.

yes, as long as they are the original equipment rims and not any aftermarket rims

I'd say unless they're very sturdy, no. The spring-action grip is substantial. Definitely NO for wire rims.

The wheel should bolt right up and handle those tires no problem with your car. We have the wheels and tires available if you want them. Thanks!
