I have the Soft 8s.....got 'em from Summit Racing - cheap and FAST shipping....always. I like them - they are cheap. I just can't see paying $300 per wheel. I paid like $315 for all four shipped - 17x9.

And AF, what's the beef with Plasti-Dip?? It is a pretty amazing product.

i like mine, they hold up to the abuse i put them through. of course their not as flashy as the other rims, i wanted a classic look thatll hold up. i intended to put my truck through hell as long as i can afford it and so far theyve held up. i have 4.5 bspacin and they stick out about 2 inches with the huge side lugs on the mud grapps. of course we have different suspension, but you get an idea

They are nice rims, and that seems like a good price. Go for it.

I had the soft 8's on my truck. They were chrome and were a pain in the A$$. They were always rusty. Might just have been a northwest thing. I liked how they looked though. Nice classic rim.

yep, tough to beat them, or damage them as they are a steel wheel. Heavy as compared to aftermarket aluminum, but not compared to about any of the stock wheels. LONG been a favorite wheel among the lifted Wrangler guys.

I'm putting a set of black ones on my Jeep on my next trip to Georgia in 17x9 flavor, except my bolt pattern is 5 on 5". That price is GREAT, because I'm getting them from a buddy with a tire store at his cost, and they are costing me $71 a piece!!!
