Very nice ROK!

Are these the ones you used?

I'm assuming it works for the GX as well.
Once I get the time, I'll start looking for wheels. =P

Yes sir. Quality piece.

Makes me wonder who the heck said adding the chrome pieces would enhance the look of the gx. I see the newer ones even have it runnin across the barn door.

We barely get rain and no snow at all here in SD but I've taken my GX to the mountains a few times in snow and it goes through everything like it ain't no thang! =P

The key thing is tires. I saw a several rwd BMW sedans trying to get around which was a joke. I saw a front wheel driving taking on a steep hill which was another joke.

Even with the ATs, I slip and slide on the snow. Imagine the number of people out there driving on less than stellar tires. Embarrassing and not safe.
