So I have a Gen3 on order and currently considering both the RPT1 and the forged Gen2’s in your pic. Pros and cons of each, in your opinion? Do you happen to have a shot or both wheels looking down the side of the truck, showing how they each stick out relative to the fender?

In the first pic the rear tire is poking out about 1". The front wheels are turned so it's hard to tell, but typically the fronts poke out a little more than the rears.

Here's some shots I found scrolling through my phone. The first 4 are the OEM beadlocks and the last 4 with RPT1's.
Pros for the OEM in my opinion: beadlock capable, looks nice, matches with leadfoot nicely, OEM warranty/reliability
Cons for OEM: beadlock beauty ring sticks out and can get gouged easily (ask me how I know), weight (37lbs IIRC), for some reason I could never keep them clean, seemed to hold onto brake dust easily, the spoke pattern is annoying to clean by hand (real nitpick).
Pros for Enkei: WEIGHT, it was the most surprising and second to a tune was the most significant change I made to the truck. Everything about the driving characteristics changed, better braking, turn in, acceleration. More color options for the Enkei's, with no outer lip the wheels are more protected by the tires, uniqueness, complements.
Cons of the Enkei's: cost (can be offset by selling your OEM wheels but they're still more expensive than other popular options), not beadlock capable, camera storage on your phone fills up because you're constantly taking photos.
Hope this helps! Overall, after over a year later I'm still happy and satisfied with the Enkei's. They've handled jumps, rough terrain, and a few oh **** moments with hard impacts. I love the way they transformed the truck and I get more complements on the wheels than any other aspect of the truck. Last point, they're made in Japan, which matters to me and while I'd rather support an American company at least you're not supporting Chinese manufacturing *cough Method cough*.

Looks nice, thanks for posting. Do they come with hub centric rings or people just mount them lug centric?
They are hub-centric so no rings needed
Ahh okay, thanks for clarifying, from the specs I saw the bore was 106.1, but must have different bore sizes.
The 6x135 bolt pattern are 87.1 and 6x139.7 are 106.1

Seriously considering these for the Gen3. Anyone ran into any issues running them hard? Load rating of 2100 seems a little low, but I'm out of my element here and will defer to more experienced folks.
