    Those KMCs are money... simple as that.

    I’m just glad I could help you see the light.

    I did sky valley road solo with my little while we were isolated with Covid last week. Covid recovered now, yes! I’m pretty much always up for wheeling, camping, hanging, drinking, “touring”’or whatever! And my haterade is probably generated by some jealousy? I want all the tires and all the wheels. Driving across country recently, and stopping for gas so much makes me dread anything larger or heavier.
    You’re truck is sick and it’s ready to tackle the world.
    And trust me I’ve even considered a lot... even BFG due to the small size of their 35, but they suck so no.
    Go for whatever is gonna scratch your itch. I like the methods for sure, but obviously a preference thing. And I think pick a tire, wheel, and size and be a dick about it... why not? Love watching you and your truck change so keep it up!

    For a van! Totally a hopeful copy of something black rhino that will sell to a lot of wheels to “overland” built vans. “Money” lol

    90BFE24D-A4CB-42FA-877A-F428C28209D8.jpg Sorry, just every van build I’ve seen lately has a wheel on it like this and it’s a total joke that they’ll ever go off-roading effectively, but they sure look like they can. And I don’t doubt they can do 98 3/4 percent of what most Tundras do.

    I mean, yeah! Can't win baja in your van without the tire that literally has "baja champion" embossed on it.

    Hm.


    Typically, I don’t make wheel selections based on what other vehicle may have wheels that could almost, possibly, kinda’ sorta’, in a way look like said wheels.

    And yes I’m biased... darn those classically designed methods look good on that van! And to be fair the wheel he’s looking at is a unique flow formed method wheel that is just so much more bad ass than the one on this van. This is a fair argument, just what I’ve seen in real life on the east coast has mostly been BR arsenals which remind me of this kmc wheel. And yes of course still BFG only. I think the look is cool. I just think it’s a Van culture thing seeping into truck culture that I’m not woke to yet.

    When I think of a van, I think of shag carpet, moon windows and Mom telling me to stay away from them.
    Mom was always right.

    This looks like a van you don't want to see parked outside your home at 4:30 in the morning with camera crews setting up. :quickdraw:

    And if you don’t have BR wheels they may implode out there.

    So I’d realistically like to question the need for new wheels and tires in this case. Help me justify the third set in 6 months? My wife has a girlfriend so I don’t even have to justify it to her anymore. Just help me understand the need? Not woke, maybe so. I do realize it would look cool. So if that’s it then like I said... scratch the itch for good! I do like this thread and I think you should market to the wheel and tire companies as a test bed at this point! Because I want 37’s and methods or KMC wheels for sure at this point. Are you gonna sell your wheels and tires? Or are they already sold? What’s your IG?

    The KMCs are too busy, although the grey ones aren't that bad.

    If the fake beadlock was gone I’d be 101% on board with these particular KMCs. I think that’s my only real hangup

    I don’t even see a beadlock anymore. It’s a circumferential design. So you’re good!

    Yep..
    I don't mind the fake rivets (have on my TSS wheels) or the little fake torx or allen head bolts on those KMCs.
    I can't tell.

    But I really don't like the big fake bolts in some of these wheels..

    The gold is a throwback heritage look to old Toyota’s and Subaru’s. I know it’s not for everyone. But it is the only one like this and I like being different sometimes. Yet the black wheel beckons me like a mermaids song. Yarrrrr.
