I've almost decided on a wheel, but I have a question.

Which would you chose?

I've had my truck for almost 2 months, and I've got everything I want to do picked out......except wheels. My plan is to get 35x12.50 Cooper Discoverer STTs, and this is what I'll be riding on for a long time. A long time from now I may jump up to 37s or possible 38s, but a gear swap will be taking place at that time. Below are the 2 wheels I have narrowed myself down to: XD810 and XD Misfits. Here's my problem. I prefer the 810 design, but it only comes in a 20". I've never been a big fan of 20" wheels on 35s because the sidewall seems too short for me. I like more sidewall as it gives a more off road look and seems meaner to me. BUT, the Misfits only come in a 0 offset, which means I would run a 1" wheel spacer. I know people have done this for a long time and see no problems, but I'd rather stay away from it. So my question is, what is the weight difference going to be on a 35x12.50x20 vs a 35x12.50x18, including the wheel? I have also included a vote on here as I'd like to see which wheel y'all like best.

XD810

Misfit.. Never been a fan of the style are of the others you posted. I want a rim to have a nice lip and the split multi spokes just looks to busy. I think when blacking things out subtlety is key and you want to keep things clean.
I could handle the split spokes if they went straight out to the rim and it had a nice lip. But how they go all the way to the edge kills it for me.

Matt, what do you think of the new Rockstar II's? They have removable flanges to go with either style.

Of the two you posted I would say misfits as well. Also, as far as I know you should be fine with a 0os wheel with 12.5" tires without a spacer and not have rubbing

Misfits. But the rockstar 2 are pretty sweet. Saw them in person the other day and very solid looking wheel.

I've got a black truck, and I want to black it out. So my goal is to have no chrome at all. The little chrome in the rivots is okay.

I have the moto 962's with a 0 offset and have 33x12.50's and didn't need a spacer so I think you'll be fine without running the spacer

I like the bigger less arms look as opposed to the inflated spoke look, of the two you put up Misfits. Straight or angled is all good.
