    I installed a set of these wheels on a Syncro with a BFG 235/15's on them!

  I don't reccomend doing this, but a guy I work with a an extremist!

  The wheels look Great!  I do belive that the Tire Rack sells a set of Lugs
to go with these wheels, Check on that.

  As far as the Safety Issue, these wheels are STRONG!  I have a picture of
the Syncro with the wheels on it, I've yet to get scanned to show the list,
Coming soon!
