Thread: Looking at these Rims

  1. #1

    Looking at these Rims

    so here is the situation...I have my lift on
    I know what tires I want already (285/70/17 BFG AT KOs)
    I am stuck on rims...First i wanted the Pro Comp 7105s but those are on backorder, then I was looking at the AEV Pintlers in Argent but theyre such a hassle to order, so now im contemplating between two rims and would really appreciate your help.

    The LEVEL 8 17X9 5-127 0MBL

    and the MB 17X8.5 5-127 -6MTB

    I wasn't looking at the MB wheels at first but the other day i went to test fit the 285s and make sure it'd fit properly...when i did the agent helping me said he had one wheel that would fit the 5x5 and it was the MB. i was indifferent about that wheel at the time because i just wanted to make sure the tire would fit but when he put in on my WK I almost fell in love

    MB wheels 110 each
    Level 8 140 each

    I don't really like the all black look on the WK especially cuz my trim is chrome i love the black wheel with silver lip look but i thought that MBwheel+BFG AT looked good i cant decipher between the two, Im sure if I'd see the LEVEL 8 on I would love that one too but I'm so confused

    oh and btw i like the -6 offset look

    My wheels are a mix of the two you're looking at!

    But between the two, I like the first ones with the machined lip that helps break up the tire/rim interface.

    FYI, both those wheels will stick out the exact same amount. The -6 offset is accounted for by the extra width of the other wheel.

    You can't compare how wheels look based on offset unless they're the same width.

    oh alright...yeah im still trying to comprehend the whole backspacing and offset deal...i somewhat understand it

    thanks for the opinion. Yeah im liking the LEVEL 8s too but i really couldnt argue with the way the MBs looked

    the gf is gonna help me figure it out

    thanks for the help Matt

    Ever think of the MT Classic Lock? The outer ring is replaceable and comes in a bunch of different colors....

    No... they do have a true beadlock series. However, the outer ring acts as a rock guard. When they get chewed up from rocks you can just replace them. I wanted these wheels in the worst way but the XK is almost impossible to fit larger tires on with a wheel that width/backspace

    aw man those look good...but thats more of a true offroader look
    this is my DD and WW so i cant make it TOO OFFROAD
    those are really nice rims but im trying to go for more of a clean look but at the same time aggressive, if that makes any sense

    you know what, now that i think of it...im gonna look into these lol

    thanks for the input guys

    Im looking at these wheels, idk if my jeep would look good with these and if i got these i would get the red lock ring to match my red/black tone
