Which would you choose for a granite crystal ‘22 Laramie? All are a 0 or +1 offset. Pairing with an AT tire (Nitto or Toyo) I only want to buy wheels once lol all 20x9.
A. Fuel Militia- Black
B. Mickey Thompson sidebiter II- black
C. Fuel Traction - tinted black
D. *New Contender*- Brink Fang - black

Wheel selection is VERY subjective, so you are likely to get a LOT of differing opinions. That said, of the three, I prefer the Mickey Thompson's. :)

I certainly agree with it being subjective. I think I’d be happy with either and narrowed to 3 extremely different looking wheels 😂 I appreciate your vote!

I like them in the order you have depicted. The Fuel Traction looks like a major PITA to clean.

Post #4 has a good point on keeping the wheels clean. Wondering what you would use to keep the wheels clean. Black looks good but lose the appeal if not kept clean.

Yeah, the tractions would definitely be a pain to clean. I’ve got a gerbil wheel brush from chemical guys that I use now, but they’d still be a pain

Don’t get the first one. All the fake bolts on them make them look really cheesy in person. A guy I work with has them.

All of those look like a pain to clean coming from my plain 6 spokes. The Militia's look like they're trying to make your truck look HD. I vote the Mickey Thompson's.

Another thing you might want to pay attention to is the big difference in weight between those options:
A: 39 lbs
B: 37 lbs
C: 47 lbs
D: 28.2 lbs
Yeah, I was looking at that. Apparently flowform makes a huge difference. +1 to the Brinks

Regardless of what you pick, I suggest +0 with Recon Grapplers. The stance will be perfect. I struggled really hard and have the same color truck. Anything between +12 and +0 is gonna look super nice. Good luck! So many choices!

(Recon Grapplers because they have 7 mm of sidewall on the aggressive side so it gets a perfect poke, aside from the fact they perform amazing).

And that’s exactly what I did! 😎 ended up ordering the Brinks in 0 offset on the Recon Grapplers. 🤘🏻

I’d go with D based on weight alone. Unsprung weight makes a big difference in mpg/acceleration/braking for normal driving.

Edit: Oops, see you went with D. Congrats!
