    I recently purchased a 2017 Barcelona Red Metallic TRD Off Road. I'm wanting to change the wheels and tires and add a lift. I have narrowed it down to 3 wheels. Wanting to run a 17x8.5/9 with a 265/70/17 Duratrac or 18x9 with a 275/65/18 Duratrac. I will be doing the Bilstein B8 6112 and Bilstein 5160 with AAL in the rear for now. Truck will see some off road but is a Daily Driver. Here is the truck and choices of wheels that I have to decided on.

    Fuels .... everyone has the Methods!!

    Don't forget about a 1/4" spacer for the front drivers for the Taco Lean.... you may not see it now but you will after lifting...

    Nice truck, good luck with it and welcome to TW.... bring your sense of humor and you'll have a lot of fun and learnt some things too!

    The first two options make me want to pour bleach into my eyes, which leaves the Methods as the only choice. If they didn't have those fake bolt-heads all around the circumference, they'd actually look nice, too.

    None, they all look like car wheels with fake bolts added to the outside. 1 I would see on muscle cars/american, 2&3 on imports.

    Either way, pick which one you want and you think looks best. Do you want us to pick for you? Are you going to choose the one that most people say they like?

    Why can't adults make their own decisions anymore? Every forum has countless threads of "which should I pick" from lights to graphics to wheels and tires. You are an adult, you have to live with it. Pick the one you think looks best on your vehicle not what an internet forum with guys from around the country think...

    The sota and fuel are older style wheels , the method in the core style just came out in January 2017. I just sold some Method NV wheels and the quality for $$ spent is great . Sota wheels have nice quality and finishes but they are more costly with my experience and a little bit busy for my taste. Fuel hold up well for the price but they cost about the same as methods.

    out of the three I would go with the methods, but go with what makes you happy it is your truck.

    Damn, I didn't know it was so wrong to ask for someone's opinion about something. If I had just chose a set of wheels and then posted them, you fuckers would have the same shit to say.

    Calling people fuckers is a good way to do this to your thread....

    Ignore the comments you don't like, appreciate and reply to the comments you do like.

    Also, +1 for the methods.

    None. Those fake beadlocks are ridiculous.
