I dig that wheel!
These wheels make me paranoid with 2 rigid valves exposed. Initially I was paranoid that someone could just reach down and open one to be an idiot, but with onboard air, it would just be an inconvenience.

That will be very annoying!

Well its show and tell time. Let's parade some of those wheel upgrades.

I dont have anything to show yet as my Glad is due early December. So I have some time to make a decision. Maybe I will get some ideas from some of your choices.

So far I like these. But dont know how much of a headache the cleaning process would be. Another thing I'm pondering is how it would affect the heat dispersion of the brakes. Any thoughts?

Well, its show time.

Nice, I wanted the same ones as you, but at the time(late 21) they were out of stock everywhere.... it was during the time when nothing was available. I ended up getting the "Convoys"... very similar look, bigger air slots and easier to clean. Only negative for me is while sitting/parked.. water/rain will pool up on the lip of the rim. So far, the black rhinos have been great. Good luck with your search.

I'm considering these black Rhino armory wheels too but I have heard good & bad.
I hear the paint chips off very easy and that is no good. Can anyone confirm good or bad how these wheels have held up?
I have the Convoys, but should be the same, running mine for a year and the look like new..... hell I haven't even washed them once..... I guess its time for the annual wash job... lol

AEV Borah with silver protection ring inside 37” Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs. Definitely a bear to balance, but they’re dialed in well now.

I think I'm going to paint those rings dark gray.

I dig this wheel a lot! I wonder if they offer it without the faux bead lock look.

I don't believe so, it is part of the rim from the best I can tell.(part of the cast/mold)
They are awesome though, they get lots of compliments. Unless its a deal breaker for you(bead locks), you will really like them.
I am a retired Marine.. so I really wanted a utilitarian/military look... so Black Rino had several options... but like you, I had concerns about cleaning, brake over heating, chips ect... but I haven't experienced of thise issues or any other problems at all.... and this model has turned out to be the perfect fit for me. I do like the center caps with the white rhino on them (I'm a rhino lover, been collecting rhino items for 30+ years) having them on my rims would be a great plus for me... ha ha Here are some more pics for your review... if you would like something specific, let me know.
