I think you've just found a new winner. And trust me from experience... stay away from wheels that have alot of design behind them. It makes cleaning them a PITA.

 

u like the MKW's? my buddy does too...my gf said I should go simple as everything else I have is simple, so get the MKW's

 

The MKWs look like a great wheel. A simple different variation of a common wheel. They don't look like they'd be too hard to clean up either.

 

I have always loved the hulks, although I have never seen them in person up here in NY.

 

well been looking at wheels AGAIN all night. big purchases always make me a lil nervous so now I want to toss these in the mix...

 

The XD Diesels were actually my first choice of rims for my truck. My next choice behind them were the Incubus Recoils. I still wish I had gone with the Incubus wheels.

 

and you got Badlands...lol....

 

 

I don't know how important warranty is for you. I got burned on a set of Gear Alloy wheels--bought brand new with a "lifetime structural warranty." 60K miles later (all highway) one had a cracked spoke. The design was "out of production" and for warranty the company would only replace from current stock.


It didn't bother them that I would have a wheel of one design and three of another. No discount was offered on the set which I would have to purchase for the other three to match.


This is pretty much a standard warranty for aftermarket wheels. It sucks because most of these wheels don't stay in production very long.


Unless you want to replace all four, I suggest a wheel that has been in production for a while and is popular enough to remain in production. I ended up replacing all four with Dick Cepek DC-2's, partly because I always liked them better anyway (I bought the others as a second choice due to pricing.)


Also check the weight rating of the wheel. The DC-2's were rated about 1,000 pounds higher per wheel than the Gear Alloys. Meaning the new wheels are much stronger.


Style is a personal thing--I'm not trying to sell you on Dick Cepek or any other brand or style. But, don't select on style alone unless you would be happy changing them all for a different look if one fails.
