im torn between two wheels and i cant make up my mind. looking for some input/opinions. the tires are going to be 295/70/18 and my truck is mineral grey. both wheels are 18x9 but different offsets. i dont plan on running flares.

Fuel maverick +1 or Gear big block 726mb -12.

Tough choice. The Gear looks like a nicer wheel with less plastic but it looks too busy with the bigger ribs. The fuel is more open with the thinner ribs which means easier to clean the inner and outer wheel, but it has a huge plastic center piece. On the plus side that piece covers the lugs but you have those small areas and fasteners to clean. The simulated beadlock look ok on both.

Tough call but I say Gear for the center piece. Good luck choosing! lol. It takes me months to pick wheels.

tell me about it, lol. my biggest hold back for the gear's is the fact that they are going to stick out another 1/2" because of the offset. not sure if thats going to be too much for a truck without flares. that and the fact that i cant decide if i prefer a gloss or matte finish.

X2 on the Gear wheels. They look beefier and like they belong on a truck.

Can I see a pick of the Fuel maverick with the tire the Gear big block has on it?

Tough call for me but the Gear big block looks a little more badass with that rubber.

I think they'll both look REALLY good on your truck. Took me a long time to make up my mind as to which wheel and tire combo to get. Here's a pic of the Mavericks on my truck to help you make a decision.

I debated on the maverick and gears and ultimately went another route (actually just ordered this morning). But before I did I was leaning towards the gears for two reasons first they cost a good bit less and second I really liked the hub much better. Good luck with your decision I know it can be a hard decision also if you like that look moto metal makes one very similar (mo970) as well not trying to make it any harder [emoji39] but may want to look, I don't recall there offset options but they were also less pricy than the fuels. Gluck

Gear. The fuel wheels posted look cheap and I don't know why. Some look good but those fuel wheels don't.
