As some of you may know, Nitto was kind enough to send Cindy and I a set of their brand new 38x12.50R17 Ridge Grapplers for testing and review and while we could have just installed them on JET's XD231 beadlock wheels, we decided to use the opportunity to change things up a bit. If nothing else, we wanted to ditch the wheel spacers that were needed to clear our EVO coilover system and really, it's been a long time since we run an all black wheel. Needless to say, here are a couple of shots of the all black, KMC KM236 Tank Beadlock Wheels that we just bought from Off Road Evolution.

Great looking wheels!

What kind of back spacing are your current wheels and did you have issues with rubbing prior to coil overs?

Our current XD231's have 4.75" of back spacing. This caused the rear sway bar link ends to make contact with the sidewalls. That was our main problem. 3.5" will clear everything.

Those are some good looking wheels! I think they would look great on the wife’s Firecracker Red JT……. Is that black powder coat or some other finish?

I really like the drain holes that come on certain KMC models. I think it makes maintaining the wheel much easier. Less problems with corrosion on the lock-ring bolts.

Don't think they're intended to be drain holes. They are good looking wheels though.

The wheels are defintiely powder coat but I'm not 100% sure of the rings. They definitely have a slightly different look to them.

Actually, they are in fact drain holes.
