How long was the wait for the stage 2 Eibach? It's always out of stock when I look.

 

I purchased mine through @HeadStrong Off-Road. It was in stock and came in about 5 days. I messaged them on here, they answered some questions for me, and then I ordered through their website. It was easy and quick. I paid $1,133.00 shipped. I ordered the 1” block through another online vendor I found on the web. It came in 4 days.

 

seeing the dash whites make me miss mine so much

 

Can I play too?!

 

Early bday gift from my lady =)
Now to get them mounted!

 

damn, she's a keeper!!

 

no doubt

 

Here’s a few pics that were taken after the ceramic coating was done by Garage Slick.

 

Do you know which product they used for the coating?

 

Am I welcome to join the club, even though they're only Gram Lights? Showstoppers now has (4) less 57DR-X in 18x9, 0 offset in stock now that I finally pulled the trigger on a set. Was going to go with Black Rhino "Rotary Formed" wheels and after looking them over, their quality was subpar at best and returned them! I'll gladly spend the extra $190/wheel for a quality one that'll look nice and hold its value like no other.

As for lugnuts - are these Rays L37 DuraNut aluminum lug nuts a good choice for Rays wheels? Kinda hesitant with them being aluminum and not steel.

My teehee37Xs

 

Has anyone had noise come from the center cap area? I have been running them for about a year and haven't had any issues. I got my tires rotated today and now there seems to be a plastic rattling noise at all 4 corners. Center caps is all I cant think of since I swear someone in this thread has something similar. They do not move at all by hand either.

 

I’m running RAYS L37 DURA-NUTS 12x1.5 with my TE37x. The shop that installed my lift was concerned that the lug nuts were not seating properly on the wheel. They are an authorized Rays dealer. They said the contact patch where the lug sat against the wheel was minimal. This was based on the amount of finish on the wheel and lugs that was worn off. The wheels and lugs were both brand new when they were installed about a month ago. They were torqued down when I installed them. They said they were a little bit “loose” when they removed the lugs.

Discount tire fixed a leaky valve stem on two wheels. They commented to me how loose the lug nuts were when they pulled the wheels off. Loose meaning it didn’t take much to break them loose. This was after the lift was installed. The shop that installed the lift torqued them down to factory specs.

Anyone else have issues with these lugs on these wheels? Thoughts?

 

There is a rubber 0-ring that some folks are slipping on the center cap to eliminate rattling noises.

Those are aluminum lug nuts if I recall. Aluminum is a very soft metal vs the traditional steel - they do look better than the steel units but have numerous issues. IMO I would never run aluminum lug nuts due to seizing, stripping amongst other issues. Lots of folks on here running the Rays 17 Hex lug nuts which are steel or the McGard spline drive which has a free floating collar where the seat meets the wheel.

 

o rings ..

They might have fallen off when the shop rotated the tires.
