    Hey fellas! I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy! In today’s video we focus on the strongest off road wheels in the market. Many Japanese companies such as Rays Wheels, Work Wheels, Advan have been working hard to make the perfect wheel for decades. In the past couple of years the off road market has grown drastically, bringing many wheel options to the table, Japanese wheels being one of them.
    What wheels are you currently running and what are your thoughts?

    Eyeing the XT’s. I’ve been waiting for volks to make a 17”. Just wished it was the te37 style instead of the X. Its a toss up between the XT and RGD2.

    Yeah I agree, I’m not a big fan of the logo placement on the rim of the wheel, aside from that it’s a great looking wheel. that satin black on the rgd2 is pure fire!

    Got my semi-gloss Black RG-D2’s yesterday. Wanted the Works but felt they were too similar to the SCS F5’s I had previously.

    I would’ve thought the Enkei RPT1’s were in the ballpark of the Advan RG-D2’s and the Works? (~$1800 - $2000 range)
