    I'm still up in the air about them. I also don't like the center cap, but they are nice I guess. I prefer wheels that are flat and not concave. That's my opinion, if you like them go for it; its your truck. You will always have haters no matter what you do.

    I doubt the wheels from the OP come in anything less than 18" judging from their styling. Frankly I'm surprised 20" isn't the smaller diameter you can get.

    Hey... I had NTG 285's on my '95 Suburban and was very happy with them.

    I put over 20k on that truck before I sold it and other than severe cupping from the worn out front end, I had no complaints about them or their durability.


    Now the Monster rims?

    Meh... The center caps complete "the look" but I really don't care for the pattern itself at all. Not a fan of fake beadlocks and the big bolt heads... and really not a fan of a wheel that doesn't have a smooth rim...

    But that's just my preference. I'm sure the same thing was said in the 80s about Keystone and other wheels that had bolts around the edge of the dish just like Centerlines but were not 2 piece.

    But ya... with the center caps? Fa-BRO-Lous :D

    If these wheels can dispense monster energy drink, then they are awesome.

    If they can't, then let the bro flag fly!

    on a more serious note the giant plastic bolts wil last about 3 minutes off road & thats if they survive the mounting process. i had run into a similar issue with the atx ledge i wanted the teflon ones but, they are bedazzled with plastic bolts :/

    a quick search on tw should bring up the thread of guys having them broke off during mounting and losing them just driving down the road. just food for thought

    Jesus I wouldn't be caught dead with those things on my truck! If I saw someone with those on their truck I'd probably just laugh at them..
