Default Wheel Feedback!

Alright peeps, I 'm about to order some wheels for my 15" Nebula Gray GX.

I'm down to these below. What you guys think!

Black Rhino Tanay












Blue Rhino Sidewinder:







Fuel Beast:












Black Rhino Letaba









Or to really funk it up and make make it a bit more rugged, these simple lightweight aluminum wheels seem interesting. The Level 8 Tracker particularly in 20!

Level 8 Tracker Pro - seems like it would especially pop in 20"













In addition to these choices I need to decide whether I will do 20" which still leaves plenty of rubber to not look like a video SUV (after all 24's can fit) or if I do 18" for even bigger pillow tires!

fuel wheels are the best imho, but are you going bigger?

That was my dilemma. On the one hand bigger looks better for street as it shows a bit more metal. On the other hand I could just go with a bigger tire and stay 18" which would also probably improve the ride even more!

I see what look you're going for and I do like the Rino wheel for a tough truck look. I looked around on carid.com out of curiosity and ran across these, they look (to me) like a nice tough look with a touch of street.

Everything on their site is copyrighted so I had to take a screenshot

That Sierra is a good looking rugged wheel! But you better get 20 as the 18 looks more like circles a son the white 4Runner. Also I think the matte black on the gray 4Runner is a better look than the glossy black IMHO

I also like these Tuff T01. They have a good balance of rugged yet a smidgen of street road bling.

That 4Runner with the "black" rhino wheels looks really good. I would imagine a GX to look very similar to that, if said wheels were purchased.

That's my $0.02

I hate black wheels, however, those look alright.
