Dave,

I keep looking at these side by side.

Is the only difference the rim size?

Do you have any plans for an 18" rim, or a simulated beadlock rim?

Thanks

Mark,

No plans for an 18" wheel or any simulated beadlocks...it just wouldn't be our style. The Pintler and Bridger are actually pretty different but they obviously share a common theme, the Pintler has much harder features, where as the Bridger is much softer. Also, on the 17, I turned the spoke in at the top to make the wheel appear smaller (so the tires look bigger) the Bridger spoke goes straight to the lip.

Can't think of any other rim that was intentionally designed to look smaller than it really is :D

It's a good look though :)

Think of Jeepers as the Anti-Urban crowd.
Smaller wheels, bigger tires.

BTW I go the Argent Pintlers and LOVE the way they look. I also think they are performing great (I have no complaints about them at all). No balance problems even with 37's, and no tpms issues, as I had read was a potential issue.

The only issue I have with them is that I wish they were the wide stance, but these aren't actually available????? That is my understanding. I am using billet aluminum wheel adapters to allow for no rubbing on my lift (FT 4" LA)
