Just ordered a 2018 Ruby Red Raptor and looking for some advice,
Maybe some of you can tell me your thoughts on Wheels. I want to keep stock tire size so plan is to go with 17x8.5 or 17x9. I want mostly black but I know it needs some Aluminum to stand out some. I have seem some Fuel wheels (Nutz, Krank, battle axe)and XD wheels that look great but I know if you get wrong wheels it wont help the appearance. My question is Whats in!!!
Thanks Guys

Methods, Rotiforms or Walker Evans are my top choices.

I personally went with Methods since I took them off my 2012 and put them on my 2018.

A few people have made some nice suggestions and now got me closer but maybe not really. So I think I have it down to Fuel Trophey D552 or D551, I like the D232 Hostage 2 piece look better but don't want the 10" cause they will stick out to far, So seems like best bet in that stye is D568 Hostage 111 or there is D558 Anza and lastly Vision GV8
With Toyo A/T 2 35/12.5/20 tires
Decisions decisions.....

I have 17” Method NV’s on my Ruby Red scab and it looks good. I’ll post pics tomorrow.

I went with Method Mesh 17s. I like the silver instead of the gold bolts around the edge on the fake bead lock look. I put black lugs on but silver would look good too. The down side with Methods is that it seems like everyone has them, but I think that is because they are good wheels at a good price. I like the matte black look but with ruby you could try something else. I also like the Vex or maybe the Roost. www.methodracewheels.com. I like the 0 offset that these wheels have. It looks good. If you are worried about your paint you can get some mud flaps.
