[LekRap]

Methods Mesh fo sho! Them or black NV's. But definitely the mesh over the standards

Another vote for Mesh wheels. So what did you buy? I also like the Fuel rims-- http://4wheelonline.com/Fuel_Off-Road_Wheels.217794 particularly the D557s and D531s. They look cool and aggressive though quite pricey.

Throwing up a vote for NV's. Not on your list but I think you need to give them a look.

Since it's on topic...I have a question...

Keep in mind I've never seen any of these wheels up close in person...and that's why I'm asking...also considering new wheels and this info would be good to have so I don't get any surprises.

On the Method Wheels mentioned (Standard, Double Standard, Mesh, NV) do the perimeter bolts secure a ring that is a separate piece...or do they just thread into the wheel itself? Also...do the perimeter bolts do anything or is it just to simulate the look of a beadlock wheel?

Like I said...only ever seen pictures and it's kinda hard to tell.

Any info appreciated.

Hey @Aramco Raptor, yeah, all of the Method "street wheels" are nothing but a simulated Beadlock. There is no ring, the wheel is all one piece and the bolts are solely for looks. They serve no purpose other than to simulate the look of the Beadlock.

With that said, I initially was interested in the real deal "race series" wheels that were a true Beadlock. But as I researched and talked to guys with the real beadlocks, they are frankly a pain in the ass if your truck is a daily driver. Method recommends that the 96 bolts on the 4 wheels be re-torqued....EVERY 200 miles!!! I've talked to guys that said that it doesn't have to be done that often, but still, even every 1,000 miles means that I would have had to re-torque 96 bolts, 18 separate times in the past year that I've owned my truck.

Basically, beadlocks are for an extra set of wheels that are soley used for offroad. The "street version" wheels are for everyday driving. I've had some fun and know guys that have beat on and aired down the "street versions" with zero problems.

Hope that helps man!

Man that sucks. It's crazy how much of a difference changing the wheels makes on the truck.
