Thanks!

Acceleration is near the same, slightly less, but I was running 37 x 13.50 R18s previously. These were an 1" wider than what I have now. And I do mean slightly less. My wife can't tell a difference but this is my daily driver. It is definitely a much smoother ride than my previous tires / rims.

Vibrations: I had to take my 2 rear wheels to get balanced at a local Off-Road shop (Walmart or Jiffy Lube can't balance a 37" tire). My L Rear took 18oz & my R Rear took 16 oz. I rarely go over 65, but this morning I looked at the speedo & I was doing 72. It was still smoooooth!

I did read that with the Hutchinson VFI Runflats, they spec them as Anti-Mine. Make sure the wheels you get are 'E' Load rated and with the VFI runflats. The older versions do vibrate quite a bit and are near impossible to get balanced.

Good luck & keep me posted!

Sorry for the delay. They are holding up great. Lots of looks from everyone, plus keepin lg my spare on the back, they look Massive! I had my wheels sprayed in Line-X and custom steel center plates made. Ill have to post some pics on here soon. But I do HIGHLY recommend having them balanced. At 172lbs each, it will shake the hell out of you.
Did you buy them from the guy I listed on here? I thought all his wheels were already mounted with tires?
