    I had the Busteds on my 2015, on my 2017, I put on Calioffroad Anarchys. Yeah, I've got the Iron Cross Patriot steps, I like them a lot, they are damn near identical to the OEM ones on the XP package. In the first pic below, those are OEM XP package steps, the 3rd and forth pics below are the Iron Cross patriots

    Here are the Busteds on my 2015

    and a closeup of the Anarchys on my 2017

    I'm digging the anarchys. I would've loved some busteds but they don't carry their wheels in 18's so that's a no go.

    Yeah I'm loving how low profile they are and how you can barely see them since they're almost flush with the bottom of the truck.
    My OEM ones are entirely too thick!!

    Talking from branches, briers, logs and things like that. I have a dented chrome rim from a log catapulting to it and they're all scratched to shit from the list above but the chrome hides well. Can't imagine black.

    Got a point there. I don't go wheeling often, when I do, it's only on the way to the hunting camp. Dirt roads and very little gravel back there.

    With flat black you can usually touch them up nicely. Gloss will show everything.

    That's a big reason why I didn't include moto metal 970's. They're gloss. I like satin black and flat black.
    Not to mention it just looks wonky in my opinion.

    This is also part of the reason I opted against the TRD Offroad package. Not a fan of the wheels on it for the extra $1300.

    Chiming in here... I JUST got done pondering wheels forever and finally ended up with Fuel Couplers which Im totally happy with on my truck.... the thing I learned along the way was, half the wheels I looked at (and many of these are badass) would have looked great and I would have probably been happy. I wish we could just put on new wheels every week or so like shoes - LOL... There are soo many choices, narrow it down, go with a set and love em... dont look back.

    Law, for me the color choice would come down to what do you use or want your Tundra to look like it's used for ... I like the darker wheels for the offroad look and machined look more for street. Anything with 8 spokes catches my eye (one reason I don't like the Method Standards) and mesh wheels I normally like on sports cars (although some don't look bad on trucks, like the Method Mesh). Of your choices listed I like the Fuel Mavericks (black milled) or the Method Mesh/Grid in black or graphite. The Fuel kranks you have posted are nice too ... look alittle like my Fuel Nutz 2 piece wheels.

    Exactly my thoughts. I do wheel but not hardcore and can't stand "posers" who build up a badass truck with all off-road amenities but don't even go on gravel roads LOL
    I love the look of off-road wheels but love the street look (to a point). Just looking for a happy medium since I enjoy both wheeling (minor) and most of my time is spent on the street.
    Good thing is I have the 18's so milled mavericks wouldn't look so "street" get what I mean?

    Think I've narrowed it down to fuel milled mavericks, black method standards and black /graphite method grid.
    Got 8-10 months to really figure it out so not in a rush.....no I am in a rush LOL

    To be honest I've actually stayed pretty consistent with my choice. Saw the grenades and grids on display at 4wp. Only reason I included those! Just glad I saw the moto metal 970's and realized they were too shiny. Mavs and methods were perfect

    Ain't this the truth ... 8 to 10 months, I'd have changed my mind up to 2 dozen times. When I bought my wheels, I must have had 4 to 5 wheels I narrowed it down too and kept going from one to another each week. Finally just pulled the trigger on the first ones (only in a different color) that I liked. Haven't had any seconds thoughts and now I sleep better :thumbsup:.

    Law, all 3 of those you've narrowed it down to are nice ... not trying to stir it up, but the Moto Metal 970 also come in a black milled finish and what about the 962's?
