Those tires look pretty meaty for a 235.
Yep! Brand new tire this year from Nokian, look even beefier in person. They were also quite reasonably priced.

Hi guys! I am having a hard time deciding between aftermarket wheels and don't think there's a dedicated thread just for pictures of aftermarket wheels. Would love to see what you all have done, in a thread that might be helpful to a lot of people in the future.

So I went ahead and but the bullet with those D14’s. Freaking gorgeous wheels. Lightweight and strong AF. Great detail. No lift. 17x8+30. Tires are Toyo Open Country ATIII 245/65/17. No rubbing at flex.

I just looked these up. 21 lbs is insanely light! I love how my wheels look, but steering on the BS is a little heavy. I'm thinking I should have sprung for the weight savings on the wheels. I think mine are 25lbs each, so not too bad. Maybe some poly bushings at some future time will provide better steering feedback. I just want steering to be a touch more neutral.

Coming from the “hot hatch” world, a 17” wheel at 21 lbs is not light. I have 19 x 8 TSW wheels that are “flow forged” that are right at 20 lbs. For a 17” wheel I would be expecting 17-18 lbs with “flow forging”. If you got a fully forged wheel, probably more like 15 lbs.

My first thought is that truck wheels need to be tougher but then you run a much taller sidewall than a hot hatch would. The impacts from potholes and expansion joints on 35 series tires pretty much go right into the rim.
