Eagles Alloys Are Complete Garbage

yes sir kept them on this winter, the Eagle rep himself told me they make a "rock solid product that can stand up the the harshest conditions and still maintain its original lustre and appearance"

 

Hadnt had problems with my eagle alloys maybe you got a bad batch of wheels

 

ah, good point...yeah the harshest conditions my EA's have seen was a weekend at Big Bear (ski/snowboard resort)

 

x2 with the crappy EA on my old car.
except they were on for about six years and they were polished aluminum.
they were f-in rusty piles of shit!

 

that sucks....
You can bypass the shops trying to screw you by powder coating the wheels yourself. It might be a PITA to get the things together but it's worth a shot. Find an old stove, at least 18" across/deep and 12" tall inside, and buy the powder coating set from SEARS. Then get the wheels blasted or do it with a wire brush. It'll take a little work on your part but well worth it in the end.
I only bring this up because a buddy did this exact thing. He found a commercial oven for a good price and he does his own stuff now.

 

yup, sand and salt

 

they do everrything to the roads up here, salt/sand/ hell they use a salt "solution" which is nothing but a nighhhhttttmare they spray it on the roads before a snowstorm in order to prevent the ice from forming i'm just kind of at a loss to be honest its a huge PITA

 

The Eagle rims I had on my CJ rusted the centercaps too. And those were plastic center caps... never seen plastic rust before lol. It did this inside a year too... my rims were just clearcoated polished aluminum so the rest of the wheel held up fine.

 

Yikes! I have the same rims and they are doing the same thing

 

Sell em for cheap and then put that money toward some new Black Konig Countersteers

 

Anyone wanna buy some 18" Eagle Alloy rims wrapped in bald ass Nitto Grapplers?

 

Wanna buy my set? So I can get some Konigs?

 

I'm happy with my set up...thanks though

 

Darn... Anyone else want some pitting Eagle Alloys?

 

If your serious post em up for sale in the Buy/Sell/Trade Thread dude...Someone may want em. Or, take em some place and have that rust and grime sand blasted off and then have em powder coated black That should cost less than 1 Konig Wheel

 

Haha, yeah I'm not really serious... I don't think. Shipping rims from Alaska would seriously suck! I'll just get these ones touched up when I can afford it. I have a bigger problem with these rims at the moment, and that's the lack of rubber wrapping them

 

HAHA!... I know pep boys has a deal going on where if you buy 3 tires you get the 4th free...maybe check out the Definity Dakota M/Ts
