Love my beasts....not particularly fond of those though...as for the quality of them they are a solid wheel....I have zero complaints.....

 

Same as above. I have bronze Fuel Beasts on my Rubicon Recon. Look fantastic. Scratch a little easily. Don’t like the particular model you posted

Thanks for the feedback. I like the Beast wheels as well. Perhaps a bit more chunky and aggressive vs the Sledge. I didn’t know they came in bronze. I’d go for the matte black.

Have you had to do any touch-up for road/trail rash?

 

I have been happy with the quality of my Fuel wheels.

Aesthetics are personal and you should buy what makes you happy. My taste in wheels has changed a fair bit over the years and I no longer like my particular Fuel wheels. I found a shop that will take them on trade and I bought some new Black Rhino wheels from them. Installation is next week.

The Sledge is just OK for me, but I am extremely picky and opinionated when it comes to wheel designs. I am hard to please. My favorite Fuel is probably the Beast.

 

Love my fuel anza wheels partnered with some Toyo MT's they look great..

 

Agree :thumb:

 

I have the fuel assault wheels. Just got them with 33’s love them. One note the wheel shop I bought them from. He said when looking at wheels if you buy wheels where the spokes go out to the front of the rim it draws you eye outward towards the tires and makes them look bigger. Wheels with the spokes set back from the rim draw your eye inward towards the rim itself. Seems to be true.

 

I went with a 3 inch Teraflex lift, 35 inch KO2’s and the 17 inch all black Sledge. I couldn’t be happier. I wanted something I hadn’t seen anyone else with and after almost one year, I still haven’t seen anyone else with the Sledge wheels.

 

Do you have a photo you can share? I’m curious about the look. I’m also doing the teraflex 2.5" and 35 BFG’s.

 

Those centercaps are crap. The Fuel Anza style is much better since you don’t have to remove it when changing tires and won’t have issues that I’m about to describe.

Those centercaps are easily scratched, scratches the finish, and are perhaps hides the multi bolt pattern.

Also, make sure the valve stem placement has full access to air tools.

My previous fuel Mavericks had all those issues I mentioned. If your using your Jeep as intended, then choose wheels carefully.

I like my beasts, no problems here except some scratches from rocks but that’s on me.

 

I’m looking for matte black to match my white JKUS with black trim. Do the beast wheels have a bronze tint to them?

 

I like most of their designs. You could do a lot worse (see Rockstar).

 

Agreed I think they make some nice looking wheels

 

Some are fine. I prefer the KMC XD lineup however.

 

If you like pretty Jeeps, then they sure are pretty.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. It seems some consider these to be fancy or poser-ish and not so much trail functional. Easy to scratch the finish. Do XD or Black Rhino take abuse better?

 

We have a set of black/chrome two piece Fuel Mavricks on our Ram 2500. I love 'em other than the price!

I looked for a long time before deciding on these. It's hard to find wheels that look good with Billet. I really liked the original Hard Rock rims, but I swapped to eliminate spacers.

 

Too many of them are super flashy and have this "hey everyone look at me!" appearance. But then again, we are driving Jeeps.... :/

 

Here’s Lil Mikey

 

These look great, although it’s seems they are gloss black and not matte black.

 

They are gloss black.

 

I think the ones in your earlier picture are as well. Not sure they come any other way.

 

Can it be distilled down to this?: “gloss” is pretty, “matte” is “rugged”.

I really like most of the fuel wheel designs, but I’m starting to think the beast wheels fall more into the rugged category purely from an aesthetic point of view.

 

if you want wheels that can take abuse, check out the vision nemesis wheels. they have a removable rash ring that can be replaced.

love mine in gunmetal!

 

Those are pretty sweet. Kind of remind me of a method wheel in design and I like the replaceable rash ring

 

I’ve had my fuel beast rims for a couple of years now. They are holding up pretty good, except for a few scratches and one major rock rash. I’d buy them again.

Too much bling in the Fuel line up when I see them online without being mounted on a vehicle. Once they are mounted, some look fantastic!

Oddly, I choose my wheels for price and the possibility of rock rash. I haven't had a set of wheels on a Jeep where I did not end up with rock marks. Probably because I am a crappy driver. Many of the newer wheels have simulated bead locks which just seems like a bigger ledge to get scratched by rocks. Feels like it is easier to not have to maintain the scratches and plan for them on the chromed edges.

 

Generally speaking... not for me. Most of the designs are a little over the top for me. That's not to say there can't be an individual design I might like, but most of them I don't.

The new Method 315s will be my new wheels when the time comes.

 

I have a set of Fuel wheels (D53117902645) and I would not recommend them. The center caps are cheap plastic and tarnish quickly. They also seem to scratch very easily and needed touch up or they will tarnish quickly as well compared to wheels I've had in the past.

 

Seeing how many gouges my oem wheels with spacers get, while I like a lot of wheels I see, I'll stick with the 17" oem alloys I can pick up on Craigslist for as little as $15 a piece. When I get home and have a new gouge, I honestly don't care. With a nice set of those bronze wheels, I'd be pissed that I spent the money if I went on a run and scratched the crap out of them and broke a couple center caps.

 

Everybody has their preference, but I must say though... I don't like big center caps. It looks like you're trying to cover things up. They tend to be a bit of a target as well. I prefer a small center cap that doesn't stick out too far, exposed lugs, and an open design. The open spokes give the illusion there is nothing there at speed.


As for fuel vs others... I had a set of fuels and I really don't think it makes a difference. A wheel is a wheel. I had no complaints on fuel but I went with Sota this time around because I simply liked the design over anything fuel had at the time.
