Pros: Heavy duty, looks good, everything fits perfect
Cons: The lug bolts aren't preinstalled
"The mount is heavy duty and looks and works great. All the holes matched up perfectly. The only complaint i had was the the lug bolts didn't come preinstalled. You ether have to have them pressed or tighten a nut on the bolt until it sits in the mount. My tip for using the nut approach is to put a slightly bigger washer between the nut and the mount, then tork the heck out of it until the lug bolt seats. After that instillation is a breeze."

"I recently purchased this item and installed it on my 2002 Jeep TJ. Olympic misdrilled the holes by less than 1cm, but the wheel does not fit properly. I had to bend the studs to temporarily hold the wheel. I contacted JCW and they are replacing it, and paying for the shipping. The studs also stripped out when installing, but this may have also been due to the misaligned holes."
