    The Black Rock wheels are not particularly my taste... but I needed aluminum to keep the weight down, aaand I didn't have much of a choice anyway.

    Regardless...

    Thanks, man!!
    Aired up, off the truck: 37" exactly.
    Aired up, on the truck: 36 1/2"

    For comparison, my 35" KM2s aired up off the truck are standing at 34 1/8".. Considering that they're at 12/32"s (out of 20/32"s brand-new) they'd be at about 34 5/8" brand new......

    Gotta keep up with the Jones' huh? Haha. I'm interested to see how Silas' cv's hold up. 37's are iffy on 2nd gen cv's. 35's can eat 1st cv's pretty easily if you aren't careful. Ask Konsta. Haha
