    Hey! Need your opinions

    Had a choice between

    Fuel Crank
    [​IMG]

    Fuel Hostage
    [​IMG]

    Fuel Octane
    [​IMG]


    Went with the Octane - the most conservative since I am in the process of blacking out my truck and thought the others were a little too "bright". But then again, am getting Bushwacker pocket flares and they have those blingy rivets so now I'm not sure.

    Any thoughts?

    Yep. You should have bought these:

    Seriously though, All three of those wheels look good. It's personal preference. Besides, you already bought them..

    I was going to get these as well, as they definitely are badass. Though I could say the same as the other two as well but they're all played out imo.

    The Cranks are my favorite, but the Octanes look good too, especially if you're going after the "all" black look. Have Fuel Boost myself because my wife demanded a little silver on them.

    Cranks look good and so do the octanes, I think you made the right choice... I wouldve gotten octanes if I had the budget when I was buying parts
