Which wheel brand would you choose?

[RealTruck]

Just out of pure curiosity, I want to know which of these brands of wheels you would choose for your Gladiator
Bonus points if you tell me why

Personally, I like Black Rhino, specifically the Armory wheels. We did a Tundra build with these wheels and I think they looked awesome

I'm looking at KMC Roswells. I like the old school look, backspacing, 2500 lb rating, and light weight aluminum alloy.

 

[Rahkmalla]

most of those brands specialize in brotruck wheels. I voted KMC because of the Roswell alone. Don't like most of KMC's inventory.

i went mammoth bc the black rhino wheels i ordered were on BO for 4 months.

I just put some black rhino sentinel’s on my rig. Love the look if them. A lot of the brands you are listing is from “wheel pros “… and seeing your a vendor… get the ones you like the most!

Your list is missing Mopar. Like Rahkmalla said, a lot of them specialize in "bro" wheels and I like how the Mopars are a little more understated. Of course I went and painted the beadlocks so I guess I can't say too much...

I'm a fan of the American Racing Wheels. Ran a set on almost everything I've ever owned at sometime or another. I like the a simple wheel, nothing flashy or over done. Definitely hate the simulated beadlock look. I've been looking at these pretty hard, my only hesitation is they aren't steel but I may pull the trigger anyway.

I am using the Method "Bead Grip" 703. I like them a lot for the following reasons:

1. Bead Grip technology works. I air down to 10-11 psi on all the badge of honor Big Bear trails with no issues at all.
2. They are light wheels - approx 26 lbs
3. The are painted a flat black that is easy to touch up after scraping them on the rocks. All 4 of my wheels have many black touch ups and nobody notices.
4. They are not expensive

I voted KMC, primarily because of the “Dirty Harry” wheel. I like the lighter, airy look vs. the more heavy, industrial look.
I like the AEV Savegre wheels for the same reason. I just thought 6 holes looked more balanced than 5!

If I return my steel wheels i'm definitely getting 703s. I prefer the +25 offset to the +6 offset of my tactiks anyway, i just like the idea of rough and tumble steelies on a rough and tumble truck (and lets not pretend $$$ didn't factor in either. 5 wheels for $410 shipped and taxed? Yes please)

I got duped a little on this one. Bought the Tactik Classic 5 Spoke because Quadratec said the "shipping weight" was 30 lbs. I don't know how you make 28lb rims out of steel, but i figured Tactik is a Quadratec brand so they wouldn't lie on their own website. Well, i get the Fedex tracking number and it says they are bringing 5 40.8lb packages.... oh no. Contact quadratec and they assure me the wheels are 30lbs and it's 10.8 pounds of packaging. Sounds fishy for steel wheels to need that much packaging but whatever.

The wheels showed up yesterday. 40.8 in the box, 37.4 out of the box. The walmart special kendas are load E already. Wondering if I gotta return the steel wheels.

If i do i'm definitely getting 703s. I prefer the +25 offset to the +6 offset of the tactiks anyway, i just like the idea of rough and tumble steelies on a rough and tumble truck (and lets not pretend $$$ didn't factor in either. 5 wheels for $410 shipped and taxed? Yes please)

Why would you need to return the wheels. Load range E doesn't matter, the tires you got only weigh like 64lbs a piece, they are on the lighter side of the 35's. That's not going to make a difference at all. 37lb steel wheels that will last longer that alloy wheels and are easier to fix if they get damaged. Sounds like a win to me

I am partial to the AEV wheels - had them on my JK as well.
Warn wheels would be my second choice.
Wheels specifically designed for Jeeps are a better choice imo

Same reason as stated.
