I need help deciding on wheels. This is the first time I've bought wheels so I'm just looking for a headcheck... I have a Hydro Blue JTR on order, will be delivered towards the end of April. I work for Goodyear and they will swap over the non-GY oem tires to a GY tire free of charge and let me go up to a 35" paying the difference in value. The catch, it has to be done in the first 500 miles. I'm getting the truck from a dealer in Philly and I live in Pittsburgh, about 350 miles away so my clock is ticking rapidly. I need to be in possession of the wheels when I take delivery of the truck.
I've been planning on the AEV Salta XRs in Onyx all along but they're now out of stock and can't tell me when the next batch will come in. The warn Moonsault wheels have always been a close 2nd. What have you found shipping times to be like when ordering wheels? I'm also noticing some vendors charge tax, some don't, same for shipping... When dealing with $12-1300 this is significant. Any suggestions on the best places to order?
- The Warn wheels are 7lbs lighter and $30 cheaper/wheel
- Both wheels are hubcentric and can use OEM lug nuts
- The AEV wheels are in stock for the black ones, do you guys think those will be too dark on my truck? Same question for the black Warn wheels. I'm kinda over black wheels but still think they look sharp.
- How dark is Warn's gunmetal color? All the pics I'm seeing online are not very clear
I like the fitment of the AEV wheels a bit better on paper, the backspacing tucks the tires a bit more, I'd prefer less poke. Does this matter much in the real world? +25mm vs. 0mm offset.
Or should I bag it all and get the AEV Pintler wheels in Onyx which is what I had originally started with. Any comments/suggestions/etc. would be helpful. It was easier picking the options for my truck!
