So I had my mind made up - I was getting the Fuel Trophy wheels... then I saw the Fuel Formula wheels! cwhack:
My original plan/vision for the wheels was all black, but the Trophies (gray center black lip) caught my eye a couple weeks ago and they really grew on me... Fast forward to today when I saw a couple pics of the Formulas. Damn it!!!
Well, which one would you get??
I also included the specs below, the Formulas have 2 different offsets to choose from. The Formulas are 5lbs lighter than the Trophy.
1. Fuel Trophy 17x8.5 http://www.fueloffroad.com/trophy-d552-w-7955.htm
Thanks for the replies! No love for the Formulas?!?! Lol
Also, since the bore on both of these is 78.1 and I believe the JK is 71.5, should I be getting an adapter to make them hub centric?? I'll probably get these from Bora: http://www.motorsport-tech.com/4DCGI/h_centerbore.html
I think I would go the other way, I would go for #2 with the black....with the gray body and grey wheels, it might be a white wash effect and you really don't notice the grey of the wheels like you would with a different color Jeep. But this is all speculation with pictures (example, your Jeep looked brown in some pics). In person will tell you the greatest story as to which wheel looks better. I'm sure that some tire shop hopefully has the wheel around where you can put your eyeballs on it in living color.
Side note: you can remove the grey ring of the black trophies and paint them the colour of your jeep and remount. This way you can have a unique combination that will perfectly match your jk.
As far as I know they are removable. The bolts are real bolts, some of mine got scratched and they got rust. I've seen the rings painted somewhere else on this or other forum. I don't plan to paint mine in anvil cause they'd look cheesy. But your jeep's colour would be perfect for your rings.
