Wheel decisions- need help!!!
I currently have Black Helo Maxx 6's on stock Rugged Trails and I really like the black look! However, I'm going to need new tires in the next couple of months and I hate how I everything I go through ends up on the side of my truck even with mud guards. I want an aggressive tire such as BFG MT's, Toyo MT's or any aggressive AT (sorry guys I don't think the Nitto TG's are that aggressive). I would also like to keep the mud guards. Should I:
1. Keep the Helo's, try to find a tire that is not as wide as a 13.50 and clean, clean, clean.
2. Sell the Helo's, trade someone my stock 18 FX4's for some gray spoked XLT wheels, and get a good 33" tire like the BFG MT.
3. Sell the Helo's, and have the 18 FX4's powdercoated black and get some aggressive tires. If this choice, 33's or 35's?
4. See if anyone wants to make some kind of trade- Helo's for some nice 17" aftermarket wheels.
And remember, I'm a big fan of black wheels but do like polished and chrome too. Thanks guys!

I am in the market for a nice set of Helo Maxx 6's in black. I currently have the OEM Gray painted XLT 17" wheels with new Revo's on them, but factory size. We might be able to work out something if you live close (within 8-10 hours) of Maryland, I am guessing Georgia by your name. 
Just figured I would vote on option 2 combined with 4 kinda

Hey GA FX4,
Did you find out wether the Maxx 6 is hub centric and what size of bore you needed for the wheel? I just need to call the distributors and find out. I have been researching wheels for a while. It has been kind of frustrating.
thanx
