Thanks for the photos, Gregg. That looks spectacular.

Well, it only took four months, but I got my Rheins mounted this past week. These are my old Nokian Rotiivas 215/65/16, tires. Once I sell my old wheels, then I'll purchase new tires. The pictures don't do the wheels justice. Now that I can see more through the wheel, I'm definitely going to have to do something about my rusty rear drums. I love the anthracite, THANKS Christopher and Jon!

It was just brought to my attention that I neglected to mention anything about how these wheels relate to big brake kits. Thanks, Kevin.
The Rhein 2.0 wheels fit all known big brakes being offered by vendors in the US.

Happy to see 'Jumbo', my former [1984 # 0090 production] Syncro singlecab, is still in it's 'raw' state! It went to a good home!

I understand, but the wheels had literally landed an hour before that photo was taken.
