KMC 542 Impact 16x8 with 315/75R16

Got these mounted today and I haven't seen them anywhere here on TW. They're one of KMC's newer designs, I think they've been out for a few months. 16x8 0 offset, machine faced face with black lip ring which is cool and I like how it's a modern design without faux beadlock bolts and bolts everywhere. These are going to be such a PITA to clean but I digress.



MOUNTED

 

These are nice man!

 

Thanks!

 

Very sharp!

 

I like! Nicely priced too!

 

Those wheels look really good on your truck.

 

Sick setup bro.. you win on TW

 

Haha thanks! What do I win?

 

Great looking setup! I'm looking at these for my taco, love the machined silver look.

 

They're perfect. I never got tired of them and they looked so good on the truck. I like them in 16s in the 16x8 because they're chunky looking, I don't like them in the 18x9 though because the design spreads out and the spokes are long.

 

From these wheels I actually went to a set of old Billet KMCs on 18x9.5s on 35s. They are amazing wheels but I didn't end up liking them on my truck. They're a little too blingy for my taste.



Now that I have 35s for 18" wheels, I decided to go back to KMCs. I didn't like the Impacts in 18" or I would have bought them, so I decided on the machined face Addict 2s (xd134) in 18x8.5. They arrive tomorrow. They're super clean and I like them. Here's a chop of how they will look.

 

You have good taste bro.. I see what you mean by too blingy.. I enjoyed the story on your IG about how you acquired the old KMC’s .. hard to keep up with your transformations haha.. the new Addicts are gonna slay the competition.. you rock!

 

I think those are super awesome. Chunky, no shiny beadlock bolts, machined face. Yessss. They were on my list too. I think I didn't go that route because they only had them in an 18x9 and I wanted narrower.

 

Those wheels are sick.. I was looking at those too.. but as my guy said too.. only come in 18x9 & 17x9.. need by 8 1/2

 

Can't wait! I can photochop them on your truck if you post some pictures.

 

17x9 +0s aren't terrible. You do need to check clearances inside. This is the tool I always use. Put your current wheels or stock wheels in against the 17x9 to see how much further inward/outward the wheels are.

 

Look at the backspacing on those.. you’ll rub if your gonna run 33’s

 

I like your photochop skills
