    Plotting my tax return spending already, here's what I know so far.

    I have a '14 superwhite access cab, I use this as a DD and I don't plan to do any hardcore wheeling with it. Would like to go up to a 17" from stock 16".

    I want to have a 1.5 leveling kit installed with the new wheel/tire set up. Tires picked out from local shop Open Country AT2s. And I've picked out several wheels from discounttiredirect.com.

    Method double standards, or fuel trophies. Both not on your list, but worth a look

    Welcome to TW ! out of these i like the patrol, imho an all black wheel is to common and boring. if you get the machine/black patrols you could always plasti dip them and they would be all black, then peel off the plasti dip for the original look again. gives you the option to have some variety with the same wheel. :)

    Fuel, Worx, XD and Ultra are really popular around here thanks to only having a few wheel shops locally. I like look of some of them but I see them all the time :rant:. I'm really liking the American Outlaw minus their obnoxious symbol. I played around with plasti dip on my Forester, it's some nice stuff to work with!

    I stopped in at Discount tire and looked at the Level 8 Tracker, nice wheel. They didn't have any of the others in stock though.

    Somebody's been shopping at Discount Tire...

    I like the Guardian, if I'm forced to choose, but I'm not a fan of the center caps on any of these rims...

    The Level 8 wheels have a shorter center cap that you can buy. I think they have another design for a center cap too.

    I pm'd Discount Tire about the shorter center caps and this is the reply.

    "The Tracker and Strike 6 utilize a different center cap than the Guardian but if you purchase the Guardian the wheels come with the longer caps. Like you saw in the linked post, a shorter 35mm cap is available for purchase and the cost is $13.00 each and shipping is FREE. We do not sell accessories online so to purchase you'll need to phone the order in to us at 1.888.459.4080.

    -Matt"
