Just got 'em installed. I thought it was going to be this morning, but their freight truck decided to reverse his route... they didn't come in until a couple hours ago.
Here they are: (They're 17x8)
I'm thinking the soccer mom look has vanished. I think they give it a little bit of 'tude'
And, yes, the pebbles get stuck in the shield.
On edit: Those are cellphone pics... I'll take some with my 'real' camera later.

Here's a little better photo. We were parked in a wildlife preserve, while taking Jack (My micro-coyote) for a walk. I know washing a Jeep amounts to sacrilege, but I couldn't help myself.
And... I discovered a little problem while the Jeep was sans-tires on the lift:
I called Rocky Road today, and they're sending me a set of metal (upgraded) spacers under warranty. I'm just going to swap out the pair, even tho the other side is okay. The spacer is about to croak. I can lift up the top of the cone part like it's hinged.

Wheels look great man. Glad to hear RR is still standing behind their product. They swapped mine out a few months ago for metal. They make some pretty big claims on the web site and yeah, I am impressed with how they back up the products that have failed.

Why does it look like your missing something on the top of the rear spring?

All done. It was realigned too. I'd noticed the steering was somewhat ''live'' in that the wheel pulled around under power, especially on corners. Not anymore. It was something to do with the tire contact patches 4 inches farther out, I'd guess.
The new, heavy steel spacers install at the top:
I left the rig there all day, so I wasn't there to take photos when it was apart. It's too hard to see from below.
