5th Gen Wheel & Tire Thread

Wheel decision

Been thinking about upgrading my wheel/tires for my 2015 Trail Edition but it's getting really difficult to decide due to many factors.

I'm trying to stay away from the TRDs, FNs and SCS (everybody has them).

Any reviews on the Icon Rebounds, Fuel Vector, ATX or Method wheels? PIcs that you can share?
 
17x8.5 -10 VTX Rogue Blackout
285/70/17 BFG KO2
5100 + Wheelers T1/T13 lift (3" Front/1.5" Rear)
0 Camber, Factory Toe, 2 degrees caster
Stock UCA

Trimmed the front bumper and relocated fender liner. Rubbing on the mud flaps so I'll probably remove those too, but no BMC needed.

Disappointed, was about to pull the trigger on these tires, k02 285/70/17 C load, heck of a price, but then realized they were 58 pounds. Their other C load in that size are 51 pounds. The only difference I see is Q vs S speed rating. Why 7 pounds? The Q rated C load arent nearly as good of a deal, so guess I will wait. Not in a rush to upgrade, but would like to find something 275 or 285 that is closer to 50 pounds per tire, most seem to be pushing 60.

Putting on trd pro wheels.

Just picked up some trail edition wheels for my magnetic grey 2015 LE. I plan on painting them but am torn on color. Thinking of either gunmetal grey, satin black, bronze, or a mix of gunmetal grey and bronze (bronze would be where the factory machined finish is). Thoughts?
 
-Nitto Ridge Grappler 315-70-17 (e rated)
-Stealth Custom Series Ray 10's (-10 offset) with a 1.5inch synergy hubcentric wheel spacer
-Icon Vehicle Dynamics (stage 4) 3inchs of lift
-BMC: yes, with hammered in fender wells and fender line mod on the bumper.

Wildpeak 285/70/17 come in P 50.5#
 
Just swapped my 285/70/17 Wildpeak AT3W out yesterday. While the WIldpeak is probably the best tire I have ever had, they don't come in a 295 which is what I wanted. Giving the Mickey Thompson ATZ P3 a shot in 295/70/17

Huge thanks to T4R.org, I learned about FNWheels & BFD in 18"!!!

After lusting the BFD for ~ year, I pulled the trigger last week!!! Huge thanks to Dustin for getting these to me in record time, and I am so happy how they look!

BFD wheels with 275-65-18 BFG TA KO2. Very minimal rubbing that some heat gun use fixed.

Aren't these the Konig Countersteer wheels?

How big was the hit to your fuel economy? Any idea what those wheels weigh ? I don’t see it on the website.

Well, with the roof rack, kayak haulers, and heavy footed driving our t4r le only got 15mpg, and it has not changed.

If anything the wheels are significantly lighter than the factory 20"x7" monstrosities that it comes OE with. But the BFG KO2 is pretty heavy so I'd say it evened out.
