Got 2 of my tires mounted to the new rims tonight. Hopefully I'll get the other 2 done tomorrow, and get them mounted on the Jeep Thursday.
Wow, never thought 24 bolts would be so much work
The little costco compressor had no problem popping the inner bead into place.
Jon, I used your bead glue, it was pretty easy to use.
Using airsoft bbs to balance...

Sweet! I've just got a couple small things left (trackbar bushings, pinion seal and yolk) and I'm ready to wheel. I put new calipers on and so far my brakes have been working great. It sucks having a broken jeep and waiting for parts!

What pads did you end up going with? I need new pads pretty soon...

I recommend the EBC pads. At first I thought they caused all my problems, but it turned out that both my rear calipers were seized.

So was the WE rim problem related, or just coincidence?
Also, did you do new rotors as well, if so did you stick with stock?

BTW, I noticed that my new WE rims are made in China.

They are cast in China, but machined here. The wheel was a result of a POS torque wrench and bad timing. My rotors didn't warp, so they are still stock.

My stock rotors look pretty good. No grooving, and no apparent warping, so I may just do pads.
