Where's Woodpecker Trail?

[Fubar]

Rodster,
Big O will not take them back because of owner stupidity and I don't blame them.

They also said they had no idea about a repair kit.

To be honest it would not have mattered what type of 18 inch rims I had, they would have gotten dinged up on the particular trail I was on.
Bigger tires might have helped prevent the damage. 35's on 18 inch rims look great in my opinion but aired down that extra inch of rim size isn't helping. As seen by my dings if I had stayed with 17 inch rims those dings on the rim would have been on the side wall of the tire and not on the rim.

I'm considering the rancho 4 inch lift and will have to re-think tire size and rim choice. At this point I don't know what I want to do. I love wheeling and dings are going to be part of that experience. That is something I will have to live with.

I have some pretty bad scratches, too, although a constant coat of trail dirt keeps them looking good.

I swapped emails with A/R about the off-road-advertised teflon not holding up off-road. Here's what they had to say:

I don’t have a repair kit yet, we are working on it. I will forward this to my guys in California at the factory who were working on it. I really don’t know where they stand at this moment.
