Just a FYI .. method NVs come with zinc bolts and they will rust and then you will replace them with stainless and it will cost you $90+. Also, the fake beadlock ring creates a channel on the inside of the wheel that will capture water when it rains. The water can't drain away and will slowly evaporate and leave a stain.

I ran NVs for 5 years on my 2013 and have learned .. I will never run a fake beadlock wheel again. Some new fake beadlock wheels actually have holes drilled into the beadlock ring to allow water to drain away.

Don’t know if you are saying just the fake bead locks collect water. Unfortunately the real ones also do. Just have to keep em dried out.

Our Class 1 is just as bad.

Sam - keep the pics coming. Hopefully the duplicate photo police are on vacation this week. You and supergumby5000 are not making this any easier. Both have awesome looking rides. :-|

Good thing it never rains in the Northwest. Where you have stains, I'll have black mold.

I don't worry about a clean truck much these days and am in the dirt and mud fairly often. The 312's look like they'd be a bitch to clean. Do you get mud stuck in the indents on the beadlock rings? Almost looks like appropriate use of a pressure washer is needed.

That depends what you consider a "wash". If you just want to pressure wash and walk away you can only expect them to get so clean (or any wheel for that matter). I have a $10 wheel brush (amazon) that makes quick work of them when I wash my truck.

312 for sure. I think it's one of the best looking wheels out there.

We've got them in stock in bronze and be glad to set you up with wheels and lugs.
Thanks Nick. Look forward to receiving the 312's soon. No wrong choice in this debate for me. Both wheels are in a separate class (IMO) from others. Had to make a hard call. And the second-guessing starts in 3...2...1...
