I originally had a set of Anthracite Fuel Blocks on order, but since they kept getting delayed, I switched to the Fuel Coverts in Anthracite. 17x9, +1 offset with 35x12.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I went back and forth for months on wheels and colors, and ultimately decided that I didn't want an all-black wheel. These wheels look amazing in-person with the Ruby Red. My only gripes with the Coverts are 1) they are really hard to pick-up because the spoke openings are tiny and 2) the recess holes for the lug nuts are super tight, so a thin-wall 3/4" impact socket is in-order. Other than that, the Anthracite color is darker in-person, and I think they match the factory trim really well. The +1 offset is also perfect, and I have zero rubbing in the Starbucks parking lot. I also wasn't a huge fan of Fuel's center caps, so I cleaned up the hubs, painted them, and left the caps off. I think it look more aggressive this way, but that's my personal opinion I guess. Got the setup from Custom Offsets for just over $3k USD which included TPMS and black lug nuts.

looks awesome, I have the same wheel in black, cleaning them are a PIA, caps off look good, might have to steal that
I just washed my truck this past weekend, and I'm disappointed that the Coverts hold water by the beadlock ring just like my old Fuel Trophy's did. I wish they would put drainage holes on these things.

Nice choice, the mesh style wheels are definitely making a presence. Im going mesh now also with black rhinos

Looks great. I have the same Fuel Covert setup, with 20” wheels and 35 Nitto Ridge Grapplers, but actually prefer the look of the 17-18” better now. May make the switch one day…
