    Need opinions on these wheels ||===||

    I'm hoping for some opinions on future rims. I'm planning to run 37" tires and decided this would be a good opportunity to upgrade from my 15" steelies.

    Many VXers here are running 17-18" rims and that's what I'm looking for to balance the MEAT & METAL ratio

    Current:




    Options:

    Right now, these are my #1 choice. They're not black though and would change my current contrast scheme
    Fuel Anza 17x8.5 +6mm
    Or
    Fuel Anza 18x9 +20mm





    Alternate, I like this new style but I'm not a huge fan of the Rockstar brand. Typically see the old style rockstars on big trucks and mall crawlers.
    XD Rockstar 2 17x8 +10mm





    I'm not too sure on these. Maybe I'm just considering them because they're black and are shown on a 2013 Isuzu V Cross!
    Fuel Pump 18x9 +20mm





    What do you think? Any other suggestions?

    I just read my post and I can't believe I posted Rockstars.... they look good, yet I'm so ashamed of myself.

    Go with it.....

    .....On the up side, you'll probably be the first person ever to take those rims offroad.

    What about the Trail Gear Creepers. Real bead locks and tough as hell (they will take a beating)...

    I like the first ones also.

    With the new links and the towers both having some silver in them I think it will work just fine.

    Admit it, with the exception of the star in the hub, the Rockstars look the best. Don't be ashamed.

    Can that center cap be swapped out?

    That's exactly what I was thinking, get rid of the Dallas Cowboy emblem and good to go. I wonder how they look without it.

    Well I really like my steelies now in the 15" size but I don't like steelies in 17." They just looking cheap and out of place to me.. Also, 37s are almost non existent in 15" & 16", so I can't keep the current rims.

    ...And hey, don't try to talk me out of my spending spree.

    Go for the Fuel Anzas! I was looking at them the other day and like 'em a lot.

    My question is where did you get the decal? Does some on the forum here sell them?
