Wheels - Raceline or Black Rhino
I'm looking at 18" wheels to replace the 20" on my 2019 Limited.
I've narrowed it down to Raceline Addict or Black Rhino Rapid wheels.

The one thing that is giving me pause about the Black Rhino wheels is that the center bore is oversize and they use adapter rings to achieve the proper fit. Does anyone have any experience with Black Rhino? Do the adapter rings cause any issues?

I put some American Racing wheels on my '07 Matrix and they used adapter rings and they caused no issues. I put almost 200K on them.

Putting 18" wheels on a Limited model is going to take all the "mail crawler appeal" out of your Limited.

Exactly. And the Wrangler DuraTrac RTs will complete the transformation.

It should have a nice high-tech redneck vibe.

I've got Black Rhino Stadium wheels in a 18x9.5 -18, I bought some rings but don't use them. I did have vibrations on my at first set of tires, as soon as I upgraded tires, it doesn't vibrate anymore. Leading me to believe my first set of tires was defective.

So the lug nuts carry all the weight?

That is a possibility. I'm thinking the rings was for centering the wheel. They're plastic rings, wouldn't they crush under the weight of the truck?
iirc, I read on here our trucks are also lug centric. You should be fine either way you run it.-

I had plastic rings on a previous vehicle and they broke into pieces when removing and installing the wheels. Switched to aluminum rings with no problems.
Hubcentric is the way to go.

And the winner is... Black Rhino Rapid
The Black Rhino Rapid wheels came in, paired with Goodyear Duratrac RT 265/65-18 tires. I think I could have fit the 275/65-18 tires. I'll probably go for it when these wear out, which I'm guessing will be about 60-70k miles.
