Wheels - Update #844

Re: Wheels - Time for some changes - UPDATE: I ordered pink ones!

Eh...

...yeah that's all I can come up with.

I still like the SATOs better!

Is that a new wheel? Never heard of them. Do they look anything like the SOTAs?

Really? Why? I do like the deeper lip and gloss black lip on those, they're just so pricey. The Throttles look more aggressive to me.


I've realized one thing in this thread. I'll NEVER please everyone, in the end I just need to go with what I like I guess.

Sorry for the typo
I just prefer the look of the wider but shorter cuts in that wheel. Of course you aren't going to please us, it was just one that you had decided on for a few hours, and I really liked it

The lighter weight of the forged BMFs is an awesome thing, and I am sure that is why I lean towards them as well.

Glad you got it figured out man.

But I haven't figured it out, and the general consensus does matter to me, I don't take it lightly.

Here are the choices, and the pros and cons of each one.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20x10 -19 BMF SOTAs Death Metal (gloss with machined accents)

Pros
1. Deepest lip out of the 20x10 wheels (4.8", this is big for me, no pun intended)
2. Lighter, stronger wheel?

Cons
1. Getting to be too common (don't care if it's just online either and not locally)
2. Pricey $$
3. Difficult to clean (face/spokes)
4. Somewhat unagressive appearance

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20x10 -24 Fuel Kranks (entire face powdercoated in a black matte/satin finish, entire lip pcoatd in a high gloss black)
Pros
1. Aggressive, evil looking wheel
2. No machining (will look sinister on my truck)
3. Nobody else will have the same exact wheels, one-offs
4. Matte/Flat face with gloss lip provides depth
5. Reasonably priced

Cons
1. Spokes are too chunky/flat faced?
2. Haven't seen them on enough trucks yet in that size/offset to determine how they will look in the real world
3. Difficult to clean (face/spokes)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20x10 -24 Fuel Throttle
Pros
1. Agressive looking wheel
2. A lot of machining (will accent other polished parts under truck)
3. Slightly easier to clean than the SOTAs
4. Reasonably priced

Cons
1. Matte finish over entire wheel, lip lacks depth
2. Too much machining on wheel might not look right on my truck

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20x10 -24 Fuel Throttle (entire face powdercoated in a black matte/satin finish, entire lip pcoatd in a high gloss black)
Pros
1. Very aggressive, evil looking wheel
2. No machining (will look sinister on my truck)
3. Slightly easier to clean than the SOTAs
4. Nobody else will have the same exact wheels, one-offs
5. Matte/Flat face with gloss lip provides depth
6. Reasonably priced

Cons
1. None

Looks like it's option 4 then.... right?

I still say the Kranks.

That said, shop one of these up the way you envision it.

Possibly, it's looking that way maybe.

Pros

After I take care of more VCU work, it's coming out pretty cool.

This looks much better than the Krank I photoshopped the same way. The centercap on the Krank looks gigantic.
