I bet they'd do a good package deal...

[06JeepXKHEMI]

Looking at $1900, there is no way I can do that, even if I got $800 for mine.. May just have to stick with 17s and find a nice wheel Id like to run

[Matt]

How many miles do you put on a year?

[06JeepXKHEMI]

About 10 k...

[Matt]

Ah so you're looking at a good 2yrs with your current tires even with wheelin (offroad kills tires).

[06JeepXKHEMI]

Yea just about, Id have to imgaine that Ill fold and get the SL before these tires need replacing, but at that point I wont mind selling them a less.. Id to my best to run 33-35s with SL though.

[Matt]

I hear ya. I think we're both on a similar 1-2 yr plan for the SL.

While i'm a fan of changing tires/wheels every 8-12 months, it might be a good idea to wait about a year and see where you're at. Would suck to spend money on a set of wheels right now and decide you need to change them out in a year or so if you pull the trigger on a SL.

I'm really looking forward to the day when you me and adam all have SL's, ~34" tires and are tackling some of the harder trails a Rausch making peoples jaws drops while they watch these 3 XK's tackle trails that shouldn't be possible.

Hell yeah!!! I'll be running 305/70's some day! Maybe this summer if enough money is coming in.

[06JeepXKHEMI]

Exactly, if I or anyone else finds a good deal on a set of used wheels I may jump or cheap new ones.. I have to see where my job ends up in the next 9 mths with this dictator in office changing the health care system.. If I do well a SL may be my next bday present to myself with 33-35s..
