Great job on the wheel and the width. Makes those stompers look good.

They look great with the stompers. That's a classic combo strait from the 80's. Lol, makes me wanna tight-roll the legs of my jeans.....well, maybe not.

They a really nice looking wheel but like the RC4WD wheels they next to for comparison are they an internal bead lock or just a glue on style wheel?

what kind of adhesive works well on an aluminum wheel? I love the look of these, I'm assuming that the name "ENK' is short for the Enkei wheels of yesteryear that look just like them?

I have some rims just like that on my CJ-5 minus the gold!

Any plans to make them in 2.2?

I test fit both of these tires on the 1.55 ENKs and they are not a good fit. This wheel is just too wide for these tires. An oversized tire like the RC4WD Rock Stompers works much better.
