Default I ordered the same wheels...

I have a 2012 Screw 4x4 in White Platinum Tricoat. I own a tire/wheel business and am a factory direct MHT dealer. I agonized over what wheels and what finish would look best on my truck. I'm not a big fan of chrome, but I also thought that a black wheel needed a little milling or something to make it stand out a little. Long story short, I settled on the 20x9 Fuel Mavericks in the black/milled finish with 33x12.50x20 Toyo OC MT's.

The strike delayed my shipment too, so your dealer is shooting straight with you. I called MHT today to order some other wheels for a customer but didn't ask if mine had shipped yet. I'll call tomorrow for an update and report back to you. Not sure of your location, but hope they show up soon for both of us.

Take some pics when you get them on, and I'll also be curious to hear about the tires. I've run Toyo in the past and personally think they are the best mud tire on the market with regards to ride comfort, mileage, and off road performance combined.

Anyway, nice choice on the wheels... hope they look as good as I think they will!

I will definitely be taking some pics when they are put on. I ordered the rims/tires through a good friend who runs a local tire store so I know as soon as he hears anything he'll let me know but I appreciate it! I will have to put some reviews of the fuel tires after a while because honestly there is nothing I could find online. But I am still excited to get them regardless. Hopefully they will come in this week, if they don't it will be a bit of a gong show to try to find some time before x mas

Hate to say this but my buddy owns a 4x4 shop and said those tires are no good at all. Let us know how they are

I ordered the Fuel Hostage wheels (18x9 -12mm offset) with 295-70-18 Trails and mine got delayed by the port strike in LA as well... I ordered mine on the 3rd and its looking like the gonna be close to january before they finally are at my door.... This freaking sucks, the anticipation is killing me!

Looks awesome! Great choice. I got word that mine came in today so I will be getting mine out on tomorrow after work! I will be sure to take some pictures.
Again the hostages look great with your truck, totally changes the look.
