I am looking to replace my 2021 stock ORP rims with some aftermarket rims.

In speaking with my tire guy I got the following impression.

Be aware of the following:

• A lot of aftermarket rims are not of high quality and don't compare to the stock rims. I will notice the finish doesn't last like OEM. So make sure to buy high quality and avoid lower quality brands. However, the real high quality brands are reflected in the price and you pay for durability in materials, finish, etc

• Be careful when choosing the specs. The OEM rims are specifically made for the truck. Choosing the wrong offset etc etc can affect the overall performance of the vehicle. There are a lot of specs so make sure you know how to choose properly

Overall he suggested just staying stock as its a better choice and going aftermarket has it's pitfalls if not done correctly.

I value my tire guys opinions. He is very knowledgable at what he does. Maybe his warning is justified and comes from clients not being educated when purchasing aftermarket and he is simply warning of the pitfalls.

Any opinions on this? So far what has stopped me from buying is being extremely overwhelmed with the choices and simply not having enough knowledge to choose the right brand, specs, materials etc.

I have read some threads as to why the TRD Pro rims are so popular. My guess is the choice is easy, people know what they will look like as they have seen them before and it's a safe choice made specifically for the truck.

Any opinions to help me make a choice is appreciated.

I already have tires picked out (General Grabber ATX) but I cant move forward until I decide on what to do with the rims.

Thanks,
Ant

You should get a lot of feedback on this. There certainly are some good aftermarket wheels out there but your tire guy is right, make sure you get truck wheels from a reputable supplier. Use an online wheel calculator to enter your stock wheel/tire combo and your new combo and it will tell you where the new setup will be with relationship to the suspension an how much it will move outward/inward. That way you won't have any major surprises.

TRD wheels are objectively worse than your stock ORP wheels. They are more narrow, which is counterintuitive for most people.

Better question would be, where to find aftermarket wheels. I was looking yesterday and many are "sold out".

Interesting. Do you have the specs on the stock ORP wheels? I searched and couldn’t find it.
Thx!

They are hard to “find” but it’s out there.

Trail/ORP wheel is 7.5” wide, roughly 32 lbs, and is +15mm offset.

Pro is 7” wide, ~28 lbs, and +4mm offset.

I bought FN Wheels. You have to call or email him to get on the list. Mine were shipped three days ago.

Edit: His site says sold out.

Thanks!!! So, the Pro wheels in addition to being skinnier, are also set in further? (Closer to the body?).

Pro sits further out than the Trail wheel by ~11mm, but is half an inch skinnier and many tire places won’t install a 285 on it if that’s your thing.

Ok thanks for the explanation!
