*Gauging interest* New size in SCS Ray 10’s(17x9 w/3.5”bs)

Nah bro. They should be able to mount them just like any wheel that’s 9” wide. That place was wack.

 

That sucks man. Thats just inexperience. What size is the tire?

 

They are buying you a new wheel right?

 

285 75 17

At first they were like bring me a receipt I will replace it to,my repair guy will fix those knock off methods. Didn’t want to make a scene, I just took $40 that he would a paid a repair guy as I didn’t want them to handle the rims any more.

 

Dude America’s tire dinged up an old SCS wheel of mine with their impact. Gave me $120 credit towards my next tire set. Go back and get more monies.

 

I had wal-mart give me cash for the cost of a new wheel for a tiny chip they took out my last set of new wheels and they pointed out the damage to me.

 

That really blows Jon. Hopefully, this next round you go to the shop we recommended. Don't settle for convenience .

 

Finally got them on

 

Did you go to discount tire this time? What did you end up doing to the damaged wheel?

 

I will not be using them anymore. Went to save money on tires and came out with fucked up rims. Plus they told me they don’t know how to do custom wheels.

I still have the scratched rims as I just bought a 5th.

 

Shoot us some pics if them on, I know this isn't an installed pic it looks like it's leaning against your rear fender flare lol Hey what offset did you go and what color is this again?I get confused with the gold and bronze wheels

 

17x9 -38 brushed bronze

 

Looks sooo good. That brushed bronze is an amazing looking color. Love how it changes in the light.

 

only $40 savage. Just a shitty shop. my buddy just had his mounted at an Americas discount with same size no problem.

 

Just curious which discount tire, since most sell custom wheels (just the crap ones but still) never had an issue at the ones I have been to but want to note to stay away from the one you went to.

 

I posted about this is the original ray 10 thread. This stuff (sem#39143)is available online or anywhere that sells automotive refinish supplies. The fake beadlock is wide enough to run fine line vinyl masking tape (3m#6405) on the inside perimeter and you can wedge playing cards between the tire bead and rim to keep overspray off of tire or mask it with strips of duct tape. Cut cardboard to fit into area over wheel face and bridge gap with regular inch and a half masking tape to the fine line. Remove the bolts, scuff entire beadlock area with a gray scotchbrite (3m part#37448), wipe it with alcohol and then spray it. If you wanted to spend an extra couple dollars you could get an Eastwood or spraymax 2k catalyzed aerosol trim black that uses a bladder system, and it would be more durable. Pic is of the sem trim black.
Personally next time I get tires I’d like to sand all that area to metal, polish it then clear coat it and swap to black bolts.

 

The more I research I'm getting more and more im getting scared about these wheels. I was just reading about how offsets wear out your wheel bearings and aggressive offsets wears them out even quicker. Those who have been running these wheels (-38mm offset) hows your wheel bearings holding up??

 

26k miles in 9 months.. few offroading park adventures and rides like a brand new truck.

 

That's good news I just hope i won't have a bunch of problems with the wheel bearings once I put them on

 

I can’t speak much 1k in them. But they look so good. Poke for days.
