Just wondering which ones you like best. They are going on a stock height C20 with nitto or toyo M/T 31"-33". My tire guy is working up what will fit and best prices.
any thoughts of one brand better or worse than another?
This truck will most likely never go offroad. I doubt it ever tows anything but a home depot rental trailer. Its not going to haul more than a washer and dryer or refrigerator.
Its just a toy and to go to home depot.

Im leaning towards the dropstars but the AE are growing on me more. I like the deep lip on the Drop stars.
They all cost about the same. in 20x9

None of the above. I don't care for phony beadlocks.

JointTech · 07-03-2013, 10:44 PM

oh are those rivet things supposed to be beadlocks? lol I didnt even think of that. I guess they are kind of poser then. I thought it was just decoration or something. Well damn.

Its hard to find matte/machined that arent 5 stars or have a bunch of circles in them.

ksbrktracer · 07-03-2013, 10:48 PM

American Eagle ..... First off I sell them , Secondly Ive seen them in person , fantastic looking finish and great looking wheel.

lol, sorry if I busted your bubble. That's what they are. I've always felt that those, or faked modular wheels aren't anything I'd want.

I think the dropstars look pretty good but I would see that wheel on a four wheel drive more than a two wheel but heck I don't think it look half bad.

ksbrktracer · 07-03-2013, 10:52 PM

It would be friday the soonest I could get a price , I dont have any of those in stock right now, but Im pretty sure my warehouse said they just got some.

SS Tim · 07-03-2013, 10:51 PM

What are they going to look like without a center cap or opened up enough to clear your rear axle hubs?

the answer is they look ##$%^ing sick!!

the caps actually do fit but I like it raw.

JointTech · 07-03-2013, 11:11 PM

Honestly I hate the center caps on all of them. I dont like advertising unless Im getting paid for it. I was planning on rattlecanning the centercaps at the very least. If I cant pull the logos off. So I think theyll look fine with no center caps.
I didnt even think of that though. Now that I do it will look baddass with the 8bolts for the axle showing.
