Looking to purchase a set of wheels and I really like Black Rhino "Abrams"...….but I am totally confused !
Sooooo, I went onto Black Rhino's website, and this is what I found...….
ALL of the Abrams wheels have a -18 offset and are backspaced 4.54"....the ONLY difference is the rim diameter.....17", 18" or 20" (and obviously the bolt pattern)
Yet, when you go to the "gallery",.... on some wheels the lip, to the face of the wheel look to be about 1".....yet on other wheels there is about 2-3" of space between the lip, and the face of the rim !! What is this sorcery?? How is this possible if ALL the wheels have the same offset/backspace setup ??
It's definitely NOT "camera angle", as there are multiple pictures.....and I can understand if a truck is a SEMA or "race team" vehicle that its possible they might have had a "one off" set made....but MOST of the vehicles shown are everyday trucks !!
My local 4WP store doesn't have a set that I can look at in person.....and I'm NOT going to order $1300 worth of rims, and find out I don't like the look.
What Gives ????
