Ultra Gauntlet wheels problems?

[4Funnr]

Hi all,
I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of Ultra Gauntlet 17" wheels and I know they are popular here.

I've also read that a few people have found them to be 'out of round' or 'not true'.

Have many of you found problems with these wheels after installation? Do they hold up to wheelin' and abuse or are they more for looks?

They also seem to be a few pounds lighter than the stock wheels, which is good.

Thanks for any feedback.

I had them and had no trouble, were off road once though but I know one member who did mention one of his wheel was out of round, but they replaced it. The only thing I found that I did not like at first is that because they are painted they had white lines in places where they were hold by clamps. But once I put tires on, it was not noticeable. I sold them to down size and right now thinking of buying them again in smaller size then I had.

Where are you purchasing the Gauntlets from?

No problems with mine - they run straight and true and balanced easily.

Probably Tire Rack but perhaps Big O.
