bparker-

thats a pretty sweet ZJ, are those real beadlocks, or streetlocks? I've thought about getting some for my XJ, I'm tired of my polished aluminum rims, gotta wax them way too often to keep them looking decent. I agree, the black Raptor would look good being towed behind your black Jeep.

I wouldn't worry about the heat. The worst thing about Black plastic is that "scratches" show up "big time" on it. The plastic looks great till youve ridden the ATV for a while. Then it starts getting "hazy" (scratched) everywhere that your legs (or ?) contact the plastic. IE: Tank covers, panel below the seat, & the front lower portion of the rear fender (behind your heels). Now if you have Graphics in these area's, the graphics will take most of the abuse.

Thanks for the input guys and the wheels on my Jeep are streetlocks i guess LOL - because they are not real beadlockers..

I like the look of them - as the AR blackys were too much in comparison to these..

I guess I am going to wait on the black raptor.. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
