    Hi, planning to lift my 2016 off-road and upgrading the wheels and narrowed it down to Method Double Standard and Fuel Trophy. Your opinions on these 2 wheels would be greatly appreciated. The price difference is negligible (Trophy is about $100 more). Thank you!

    Real beadlocks are for racing off road... just sayin.


    Here's my choice, I don't think they are "blingy" at all. These are VERY well built.

    Gray Fuel Trophy 17x8.5 -6 offset

    Looks great! Question - what is your expirience with a negatve offset? I believe the original wheels on 2016 are +25, right? How far are they sticking out? Any triming was done? Thank you.

    Thanks... doesn't stick out at all or maybe 1/2" not much just enough to like somewhat aggressive. No trimming needed - probably would have needed to trim with offset more toward the truck (more positive offset).

    Op have you considered the difference in weight between the two?
    May or may not be much of a difference, but weight is something I always consider when shopping wheels. Some wheels are really heavy and when you consider all 4 wheels/tires this difference in weight can add up real quick.

    May or may not be important to you, but just thought I'd mention it

    I own the double standards and like them, but those Fuel wheels are nice too.

    have you seen these, they look similar to the Fuels

    Both are nice, but I would get the Method's. The Standard or Double Standard Methods are very cool wheels IMO
