Which wheel brand would you choose?

[Dougstdig]

If had a choice. DOT approved bead locks! Look good. Not to busy. Can't decide black or titanium! Second choice. Black ? arsenal, armory? Maybe

I was looking hard at these until I saw the backspacing on them. 4.5 if I remember correctly.

I can’t get my head around the rhino’s. There doesn’t appear to be much window space for air passage. It seems to me that brakes wouldn’t cool very well. Also the fake bolts and large center cap just makes it look like it’s trying to be something it’s not. Favorite wheel would have to be the Hutchison rock monster. Yeah they’re a little on the heavy side, but it’s not wasted weight. I wish they had a little better back spacing, but then again it’s in part to protect the real bolts.

4.5 backspacing means what? Still confused on all the lingo as far backspacing and offset.
Edit: I'd be 1.54 farther out than stock. Mehhh

My 315-70 BFG KO2s have more bow in the tread than I want with the factory 7.5 wide. Looks like I'll be doing my favorite 8.5 wide Methods.

K…had sleep and know this time who im quoting. What I should have said… was…@Hutcheson @RockMonster @HutchisonRockMonster… anyone that has been in the military or follows the military knows your history and advantages of a field serviceable wheel to include the following:

Military-grade wheels adapted for civilian use.
Increases vehicle mobility and maneuverability. Eliminates the tire from spinning on the rim.
Prevents dangerous vehicle rollover caused by the loss of tire bead seating.
It does not negatively affect tire life or performance. Tires perform at optimum effectiveness under high torque, low-pressure conditions.
For all low-pressure requirements. Seals in low-PSI air to keep out foreign materials like dirt, sand, and water.
No special tools required for field installation.
Uses standard air valves but can also accommodate central tire inflation systems.

This being said, we don’t seem to see many of these wheels on the eastern side of the country specifically in the Southeast. Well I want to help you with that.

In exchange for a set of WA-0594 or WA-2401 for my build on a 2021 JTRD I’ll give your product daily exposure to a very large College market, large off-road scene in Florida, travel so several off-road / over landing events per year. To up the exposure, as luck would have it, my 2021 JTRD is white, which is a perfect canvas allowing for the application of wrap or mono decal package to increase exposure for your product. If interested, please PM me and I’ll provide contact information so we can increase your exposure in the market.

Because I’ve liked what I’ve seen in my research with regard to suspension systems, but apparent lack of exposure in this market, I’ll extend the same opportunity to @Clayton Off Road. Imagine a white stallion cruising down the shore at the next Jeep Beach event with the partnership of Hutchison / Clayton / Me on a working display of poise toughness and durability.

Let’s talk.

First choice is AEV Savegre, had them on my 12 JK Rubicon, second would be something similar to Quadratec’s Morphic

If you don’t wanna go with bead locks, I’d highly suggest the method bead grip series. I have the 705’s and they’re outstanding. Also extremely light.

 

[raypla]

I intend on going Method 705, they’re fairly light look good and have bead grip tech.

 

[NoDoorsNoProblem]

Really only one answer, and it’s not on the list: method.

Black Rino Armory Wheels, because they are solid and keeps the brake dust off ( except the backside)

I have had Americn Racing, Motorola Metal, Ultra, and Fuel in the past. Right now I have KCM 545trek wheels. In my opinion they are simply a chunk of aluminum buy a wheel from a reputable company and you will be fine. The biggest problem for me is what style are you looking for. Do you want spoked style, do you want to show a lot of caliper and disk, do you want to go with a classic wheel with hole pattern, etc. Limiting your self to one company will only limit your chooses of what kind of look you are going for. Go to tire rack and use thatsite to put in your Gladiator in your color and put all the different wheels on it and start narrowing doneyour list. Then go to your wheel guy and see what he can even get ahold of. Wheel I got wheels for my camaro I was positive I wanted black wheels but was on the fence with possibly get the gun metal color. My salesman was will to order in one of each and bring them to my shop and then I could place them in front of my car and make a better decision, can't get that kind of service from an online store.

 

[Iowafarm]

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!

The dirty Harry was on my final list. Very nice wheel.

just installed fuel zephyrs. couldn't be happier

Aren't Black Rhino wheels very well known to fade in color?
