    Well, I asked the question on a Facebook group and got some answers from real world use as in pressure ranges from 8-12 psi. So far results are good, no one has done any hard snow wheeling with them yet. And bead retention is claimed to be 40% better than a standard wheel. So that's not bad for some applications.

    Take a trip to the States mate, selling my last set of five Hutchinson’s off the Tacoma.

    Matt @Discount Tire Direct hit me up if you’ve got five 16” matte black wheels available. Thanks mate.

    I’ll put them to the test. I regularly ran the Rock Monsters at 4psi and I think a good start on these would be 15psi.

    There were a few guys using them below 10 psi and had the beads stay on no problem. On various different vehicles even a full size. No one has had any hard snow wheeling yet as it's early in the season. But there was sand, rock crawling and trenches that the vehicles were being used in. It isn't a beadlock but having found out what I have I'll be getting a set.

    I get them for $250 CND a piece shipped so let me know if you want a set.

    Curious about the 6 to 10 psi range for sand. I’ve run the stock Steelies at 8 in the dunes, carefully.

    Just placed the order for five, don’t know if I’ll have them and the tires in hand and together for our post Chrissy day wheeling trip but I’m sure we’ll sort them out soon enough.

    Just pulled the trigger on a set of bronze ones. Did the jcwhitney trick with 2 transactions and ended up paying 680 shipped. Can’t complain and can’t wait till they get here.

    I posted about it earlier, just do 2 transactions for pairs of wheels instead of a full set in one transaction. Seems the max discount is $50 which is met with one pair, so doing 2 transactions gives you $100 off instead of $50 for one transaction.

    My 16x8’s came in yesterday and look great. Will hopefully mount them this weekend, unless I wait until I order my Eibach kit.

    Got around to mounting mine this weekend with 285/75/16 KO2’s. They look great in my opinion, the bronze looks great and I didn’t see any imperfections on any of the 4 wheels at all.

    Thanks! It was between these and RPT1’s, glad I saved myself about $900 and got these.
