Default Wheel selection opinions

Both are forged, both would be 22 x 10.5 and both are right at 29 pounds. The first ones would be matte black, 2nd would be brushed and cleared. I am including a picture of the truck so you can see what they would be on.

Black wheels are played out, brushed and cleared! Though I like the design of the first wheels better. Don't get me wrong, I like black wheels and they look good on just about anything (I have them on my truck), but they are everywhere now.

Wouldn't that be your fourth set of wheels? Man you are crazy. Somebody in the Houston area needs to just buy your takeoffs every time that you get the itch to replace them, LOL. That wheel weight has me regretting my wheel decision.

There’s a new player in this game. Velgen Forged. 22x10 at 28.5lbs per. I’d be giving up 1/2” of width but saving $1500.
Money really isn’t the point...it’s gotta look right.
I love these from the side.




But the straight view is really busy in the center.




This Velgen wheel is much cleaner in the center but gives up the 1/2” in width and curved spokes the BC Forged wheels have.




Am I splitting hairs here?

Nope. I like the Velgen better, do brushed and cleared with them!
