Trying out some different wheels...

Don't want to go black but I do like bronze...however thought I'd try out these Method 301's machined...

They look tiny in 18's...hehe, but that's ok I don't wanna go 20 or more, even though that's the best look on these monsters.

18 inch PVD OEM 8 spokes weighed 38 Lbs each ... these weighed in at 28.2..so a nice unsprung weight savings per corner. I think that's good for 90 more HP..

I like the stance better...18x9 with an 18 offset. Road Force balance and no vibration at any speed, which surprised me as these have a 6mm gap in the bore.. 130.8 vs 124.9 hub bore. Went ahead and ordered hub rings..just for fun.

Anyway...just sharing...

Good looking rides! A solid classy wheel / tire combo and I really like the white-letters-out on the white trucks - sharp.

The wheels look good.

I too don't want black wheels so finding a set of aftermarket wheels has been difficult and because I don't want the fake beadlock look either, well, it's almost impossible.

Looks good man. Nice to see some variation from the black that most tend to run (me included).

I put 18" Raceline Raptor black wheels and made my own chrome center caps with 35" Nitto Grapplers.
