Damn, have a little trouble getting that wheel balanced
Did all those weights lower your MPG

Looks great, may have to do that with the extra set I have

[NEOCON1]

there are even more on the inside of wheels , its not the tires that lower the mileage its the weights

Neo -

Thanks for the pics. Overall it looks like they're holding up great (You can't blame paint for loosing in the fight of paint vs. rock )

Yep! I can see it happening really soon!

Neocon,

How do you like those Toyo's? They seem like an great fit for the H3. How's the road noise on them?

thanks for asking man , the toyos are very quiet , maybe half again as loud as stock 33's maybe less , i was very impressed . the guys here that are running them on their H2's told me that i wouldant even know i had them , they are right . compared to other mud terrains the Toyo's are pretty much silent

Are there any here with a white H3 who painted their rims white? I'm thinking of doing that but would like to see it on someone elses first.

I saw your pics here from MOAB. Wow... nice. I am actually a road racer on asphalt tracks mostly- so when I saw that big hill climbing pictures with the H3s on it - I am now looking at my H3 going, can this baby really do that???

One other question - it seems from my research all the H3s come with 16x7.5 rims. So putting 33 inch 315x75R16 worked out well it seems? Other then maybe a calibration issue with the speedo - no problems say with the traction control on my automatic?

i have an automatic also , the speedo is off by 2 mph at 70 mph checked by a couple guys here with GPS units . most tire manufacturers will recomend a 8 inch rim . Do not worry about the 7.5 width we have about a dozen or more of us running the 35's on stock wheels now. nobody has busted a bead yet and from our pix you can see we have tested them pretty well

you will go thru brakes a little faster , but not much and them pads are cheap . for what we get in offroad traction and clearance it is well worth it hope this helps with your decision , Neo

its industrial spray enamel , i got it from imperial supplies thru my old work . i scuffed the wheels really well with a scotch brite pad before spraying .
