Help me pick out some new wheels...

... for the Titan.

So the wheels I had picked out back in February have been delayed and delayed and delayed and are, as of yesterday, at least 2 months out. I have given up on those and am looking at other options. Things are limited for this truck because of the offset. I'm going with a 17x8 or 8.5 and I need to keep the offset around +12mm to +25mm. Worst case, I'll run a 0mm and deal with them sticking out a bit. But I digest...


They'll be going on this:

Moto Metal 954, 17x8, -6mm Chrome




MB Predator, 17x8, +12mm Anthracite/Chrome




MB Gunner 6, 17x8, +12mm Anthracite/Chrome (also made in a 5 spoke)





Feel free to suggest others, but I’ve looked everywhere for something unique and this is all I could come up with unless I want to run 20’s.

Yep. These ones, since I know you don't want full teflon.

I was all set to buy the Teflon Thug's from AR, but as I stated above, I'm tired of waiting. When I spoke to AR yesterday, they told me they're having QC issues with the Teflon sticking to the wheels.

I looked at the Mojave's and Chambers in Teflon as well, but the offsets are too far out. The Chamber's are especially bad because they're 17x9. I've seen them on a couple of Titans and the truck looks like it's on rollerskates.

They're a new wheel, so with my luck they won't be available either.

Any runner up choices just in case?

These are a close second, especially if the fake beadlock comes off and can be painted (black, anthracite, maybe even colormatched?)

It looks to be part of the lip. They make some of the wheels in an all black version, but not this one (of course).
