Opinions on wheel manufacturers

I’ve been a fan of fifteen52 for years, though this is the first set I’ve actually owned. They’re right around 300/wheel and have a bunch of good looking options. I run the 17”x8.5” Turbomac HD Classic with 285/70’s and bought a new OEM FJ Cruiser 17” steelie as a spare, that has a 255/85 on it. The spare ends up at pretty much the same outer diameter as the 285/70’s but is skinnier so it fits better in the stock spare mount.

 

Love the Methods and Bead Grip FTW but prefer less spokes as a personal preference. Main reason i went with the 701s

 

701’s fuck hard! Big bummer Bahia blue is not available in the 704’s I was this close to pull the trigger on those. Btw, 16”s till I die.

 

Yeah that Bahia blue is pretty sweet! Almost got those as well.

 

By any chance you guys have full side pics of your trucks?

 

If cheap and light are both important options, see if Motegi offers anything you’d be interested in.

 

This is the way I would lean. Both of these are known amongst the 'real' wheel community and as such will hold value well on the used market and are proven to be reliable and half the price of te37. These are on my short list along with SCS. Leaning hard towards the rpt1 due to weight and the fact that the rpf1 (for cars) is one of the most reputable (legendary?) wheels amongst the track car community. I mean, if we 2x the budget Volk te37 all day.

My advise, get an oem+ design (sema) or get a wheel that is from a reputable jdm/ euro brand (work/ advan/ enkei/ rays/ weds/ bbs/ ssr/ epsilon) if you want something that will appeal to yourself and others. I say 'others' because when I make non-consumable purchases like this I want to be sure there is some value in re-sale.

Also: can we all just say NO to this simulated beadlock bs?? I dont get it
