I am having issues picking a new wheel. I love the Method's but everyone has them and I wanted something a little different ... and I know this will not be the "cup of tea" for most the guys on here, but I am looking between the Fuel Nutz, Hostage and Maverick. My truck is completely blacked out including the flares, bumbers, grill and will be tinting the front windows this weekend. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

1) Maverick
2) Nutz
3) Hostage

I have the Hostages (wheel on far right) in 22's on my H2. Nice wheel, however, the little plastic caps at the end of each spoke are prone to falling off. They clip into a piece that is screwed into the wheel, and that piece breaks, causing the caps to fall off while driving. They've sent me new ones, so the customer service is good, but it is something to be aware of. Fitment, durability, balancing, etc., have all been great, and that's with a 40" tire. It may be that I got a bad batch, though, because the shop that does all of my work has used these wheels numerous times with no problems.

My vote would be for the Hostages, as I've seen these all blacked out to fit your theme, and the actual wheel style is timeless.

I thought I was the odd-man-out, liking the Fuel when everyone here seems to go methods. I like the "deep-dish" look people complain about rather than the flat-face of methods.

You might consider the Octane if your going for the murdered, all-black look:

They look pretty sweet on an all black truck.

One thing to remember. Those pics of the wheels are not what u get exactly. They are showing very wide wheels with tons of negative offset.
