Replacing my Factory Wheels
Sick of having to fill up my tires on the 2008 Jeep Grande Cherokee. Although I've got a 33 gallon air compressor that's not so much the problem. I have to fill up the right rear every 2-3 weeks and the left rear every month or so. That can change if the air temp gets colder or hotter. The last thing I want to do is when it's zero out to have to go fill up my tires. I have to hope the wife's car is out of the garage or I have to somehow work the airlhose around her car and then out into the alley. So when I asked what I wanted for Christmas I stated I wanted steel wheels so I don't have to deal with the tire problem. So my daughter, son and wife all chipped in some money towards my wheels. I had to add a$100 but that was no problem. I ordered them on Monday and they will be here tomorrow. I stopped at a small garage and couple of blocks from home and the owner said he could mount them on Tuesday plus it will look a bit stealthier when done. I'm just tired of aluminum wheels. Had the same exact issue with the Exploder but it was the front 2 tires.

Well got the wheels mounted 2 weeks ago. Turns out the two back tires that leaked were leaking from the TPMS sensors on the wheel. So apparently the aluminum wheels weren't leaking but the sensors were. Well I still believe that they would have began leaking sooner or later. I do like the looks of the new wheels the Jeep looks stealthier. The really hard part is I don't walk very well now days and I was 75 feet from the garages front door and I fell down twice in the middle of the road. Took me twice to get up making it to the front door. Luckily the owner was talking to a customer making me be able to sit down and gain my composure.

Be careful, falling down is nothing to take lightly.
