Going to try and not confuse anyone here lol.

I'm going to be ordering my wheels today, the wheels I want are finally back in stock. I just can't decide between which ones I want.

They will be going onto a bright white truck so I was thinking bronze/gold to be a bit different than the rest of the trucks I see out there.

Looking at 20x10's with around -24 offset, will be mounted on 35" Nitto Trail Grappler MT's

I like the style of the Grid GF3, in a rose gold but can't justify spending over 5k on rims.

I have it narrowed down to these....

I'm trying to get larger pics, but site is down.

Unless you have thoughts on a different rim, with a decent lip that I could powdercoat a bronze/gold color?

Thought of something like this also, just painted bronze....

out of the group of three, I prefer the upper right one. Have you looked at the Fuel line?

Yes, but I seen plenty of posts where the hub starts to crack around the lug nut holes. Turned me off of those, don't want to spend a ton of money to end up with cracked wheels

I have Fuel on my truck, Haven't noticed any cracking, could that be due to over torquing?

I'll keep an eye out though!

In the picture of the 3 wheels I believe the one on the top right would look the best for your truck.

That was me with the cracked fuels. I definitely didn't over torque. I actually used a torque wrench...lol I'm not gonna bash fuel on quality there's always a chance of crap happening my beef was how they handled it and refused to admit it could've been weak material etc. Instead they placed the blame soley on me. I even took a video of an undamaged lug hole torqued it to only 90ft lbs and you could see the material deforming into the hub bore. Yet it was still my fault. So their customer service...yeah it sucks. I have KMC XDs now and the've been great.

That being said I like the design of the two(bronze) on the top of the pic of the three rims you posted.

Well top right rim is still on backorder it seems. Just the other 2 styles are ready to be shipped.

Scoop up one of those? Wait? Or find something in Black?

Site says 4-8 weeks. Black is ready now.

Don’t go black wheels. Everyone is doing that. Dare to be different and ride in a better looking truck.
If ya don’t wanna wait for the top right(my vote) that’s on backorder. Then I would get the bottom left. That one was my second favorite of the 3(The top left it butt ass FUGLY).

Yea I’d wait for the top right wheels in the middle pic to be different. They’d look awesome on a white truck. As for the fuels I had a set on my old truck for over 5 years and they looked as good as new when I got rid of it and I left them on through PA winters, no cracks, and the set on my current truck are only 8 months old and still look new.
