Default Maverick D260 vs. Moto MO962......just looking for opinions

Hey guys (and gals?)....

Just looking for opinions in comparing the two wheel setups on a '15 F150 Platinum 4x4 Tuxedo Black 5.5' bed. Just curious what you think would be a better look, and why.
I'm fully aware that wheel selection is a personal choice, and I'll be tinkering with suspension at the same time as wheel selection, but these wheels are so similar, the price difference can't be ignored so maybe there's something about each option that you may know about that I don't.




Fuel Maverick D260 chrome spider w/gloss black shell





Moto Metal MO962 PVD spider w/gloss black shell

(I've literally not been able to find a single truck picture with this wheel installed)

Really? I literally could not find a single picture of any vehicle running those wheels.

Can't believe this how much time has passed, but your wheel/tire setup is exactly what I am gonna go with it turns out.
22x10 -13et on 35x12.50x22 Toyo OC RTs. What kind of mileage have you gotten out of the tires? Any feedback on operating noise over time? Have you run any other tire on those wheels and could compare anything to the RTs?

I lost a couple MPG's for sure. They are on the heavy side. I have found that they do not have a good bite in the rain, when turning right or left and have a tendency to start drifting. Maybe because I'm running a SC and the torque just naturally causes this. On the off road they are amazing! I love them. Recently, did a fishing trip that required a 45 min drive on a wet, pothole ridden logging road and they stuck like glue. I was doing 60-80kms per hour and it was a smooth ride and a ton of fun.

For such an aggressive tread the noise wasn't too bad, at all. A little music and you can't hear squat! Very bearable!

I have run a set of Open Country AT2's and the RT's are far and away a better tire.They were good at first, but after a little wear the AT2's were terrible. They would easily put my truck into 4 wheel drifts around corners and even on slow highway corners, I could feel them slipping. Kinda scary when you have kids! I will never own another pair. Not good for the climate I live in.

Its been a quite awhile since I put these tires on and there is not a sniff of the tread wearing down. At my own fault, the truck needed a wheel alignment and I couldn't get to it right away and I flattened the corners some. I think that may have been the cause of the drifts around corners. My bad.
However,I would not hesitate to get this tires again. They are tough! In my world anyways
