Can’t decide between, essentially, thin or thick spokes so wanted to ask the brain trust here. I will never need bead locks for the mall :CWL:!

Most Fuel wheels are gaudy and heavy as fuck, especially Fuel Assault, almost becomes the offical wheels of mall crawler.

Quadratec wheels have nice specs (light and hub-centric), just keep in mind they are outsourced from the cheapest factory, so treat them like consumables

If you wheel at all the Quadratec will get damaged more than the fuel would. Fuel are heavy. I ended up going with black rhino.

Been looking at Black Rhino too since Fuels are pretty much out of stock.

I wheel on rocks more often than not. I got the Barstow. It’s a matte black. If I scrape them I just use a black paint pen and you can’t even tell. Usually it’s only the ring that gets scraped. The spokes sit further back so it would need to be something crazy to scrape that area.

Several Black Rhino wheels do look rather sick. If I were to redo it, I'd get their Abrams wheel.
Holler out to the Research Triangle Area! I miss being at Duke
Good luck with the wheel selection...and take your time choosing.

Between the options you gave I like the Fuels the best. You should also check out Icons. I love mine and they are hubcentric and come in a bunch of different colors and styles.

Yeah, the Barstow looks sharp. The Oceano looks good too but they’re gloss. Also looking at the Rhino Apache as well.

Oh, that looks good too! I’ll overlook the Duke comment (you all have a cool garden); I went to UNC ;)

I’ll take a look, thanks for the suggestion!
