Thanks raptor911. The only thing that makes me wonder is the DS is listed as 4.5" backspace and the NV is listed as 4.75. They are both 8" wide so it was my understanding that the NV would be .25" closer to the truck as they have the same offset and width? I could be wrong, wheels specs are not my forte and I'm happy as long as they look amazing and won't stick out past my fenders as I'm told they will not..

Can't wait ! Now for the next question. Black or chrome lug nuts?! I'm thinking black.

Can anyone tell how indecisive I am?

What specs are you comparing? The DS and NV in 17x8.5 with zero offset both have 4.75 back spacing. The DS in 17x9 with the -12 offset have 4.5 back spacing. You are comparing to different rim sizes.

So both the DS and NV in 17x8.5 in zero offset will be 1.33 inches wider when compared to the stock wheel.

I'm not sure what I was looking at.. Most likely I was reading one thing and thinking of another as usual. I know I said previously the NV was not my style... I have quickly changed my mind over the weekend and purchased a set today!!!

I will pick them up in a few weeks and let everyone know how my buying experience was with the vendor on the site, they came highly recommended and DELIVERED

I've got standards. Took a Prius side impact head on the front tire going 45mph and only pulled one of the bead screws out sideways a bit. They are good quality. Wish they werent painted tho (chipping, etc).

Everyone had the DS and I'm sure everyone else will get the NV's when more become available. I have the standard m301 I've seen maybe 3 or 4 other trucks with them so I'm happy with my choice! And I've had mine for about a year and a half now
