Only needed on the front, but chose to use on all fours. The 18" STS wheels advertised on eBay are pretty, but I bet they're a pain to clean and keep clean. I personally like the seven spoke, 18" XLR wheels for their "flat" appearance and they're probably the easiest wheels I've had to clean. I would personally prefer at least a 19" or 20" wheel and a lower profile tire than the 235x45x18 currently used. Can't say I've seen any aftermarket wheel that I like. I would pay a premium for a look-a-like 20" XLR wheels that fit without modifications. |
