    18 DCSB Sport BBP. I don't offroad at all, strictly asphalt, so I'm having trouble finding a wheel that doesn't have the offroad faux beadlock look. Not trying to be a poser. I plan on swapping over my Toyo OEM Sport summer/highway tires and I want the wheel to be flush with the fenders, so like 4.5 BS or less.

    I keep going back to the SCS F5 and SCS Stealth6 for that exact reason. I don't want a wheel that is too "busy" and has some clunky plastic center cap (think Methods). I think the F5 are almost too simple, but I like the lightweight.

    Any other recommendations?

    Check out VTX wheels. Similar off road look but some of them don't have the faux beadlock ring.

    Thanks, perhaps in gunmetal. No weight listed. Ideally I want something less than 25lbs. 17"

    Im running them and I love them, they look really good with street tires. I ran them with a highway tire before I put my all terrains on

    And if you hate the giant 8 on the level 8 mk6, some acetone on a rag and it wipes right off.

    Wow, 21lbs! It's hard to find anything under 25 lbs in 17"

    Hate the 8 for sure. Good to know. Any idea on weight? Cheapest option compared to Stealth6 and 6 Shooter.

    Discount tire has info listed for the Level 8 MK6s. The 17x8s were 27ish and the 17x9 was 29.
