    This is probably not in the right spot, but here goes... I have a virgin stock '17 TRD O/R, just picked up last night with 5 miles, haven't even programmed my radio stations in it yet. LOVE LOVE LOVE. My 1st 4x4!

    Bring on the Mods! Suspension I'm working on in another thread. Looking for help on RIMS!

    I think so far I'm liking the Method XD128 Machete, the Fuel Sledge D596 and the Ikon SixSpeed - all of these in Matte or Satin Black. 17 or 18's, as available in the correct backspace and offset.

    Dare I ask anyone to comment on either 1) do you have these and how have they been (pics desired, or redirect to help my find?) or 2) nice, but check out something else like ____.

    Making a decision tomorrow! Might be up late reading the replies coming in - thanks all.

    I'm just like you. I got my first 4x4 a few months ago and now I'm looking for some new wheels and tires. Are you planning to lift your truck?

    Well let's face it, the XD128 Machete and Icon wheels you're looking at look dam near identical, but those FUEL rims look SICK AS F**K! And this is coming from someone who has Methods on his truck. Just my .02.

    Thanks everyone - all posts are super helpful. Update - prob going to go with the BDS 6" w/Fox adjustable Coilovers. The specs say cant run a 17", so looking at 18". Not a huge fan of 20's, just me. So, while I like the Icon's and Methods, for their double 6 spoke design and riveted outer rim, I don't think the Icons come in a 18". Havent check the Method XD128 Machete yet... The Fuel Sledge D596 looks aggressive and I love the lip/shelf you can stick a deck of cards on. Just wish it had the silver rivet look - I know, 1st world problems. Looking to wrap these in either KO2's or something in a semi-aggressive AT/MT medium.

    Another vote for SCS...however, personally I'm not a fan of fake bead locks. Of the ones with the fake bead locks I'd say the one with the bolts painted black.

    Are you doing off roading with your truck? If you can find a wheel that has a replacable fake bead lock disc that would be better. At least you can replace the disc when it gets chewed up.
