On my '03 I went with a late 90's take off set and and them powder coated. They look good and the powder coating gives them an updated vibe.

Agree, I'm not a fan of the girly whack ARs.

Unfortunately Sandman the Ebay seller I got them from can’t get them anymore. I bought a similar set for my LR3 from another Ebay seller and they were crap vs the ones I got for my D2. I only paid 35.00 shipped & they’ve held up excellent.

Pretty sure this thread was not about OEM wheels for a D2, but at least my AR rims aren’t the typical aftermarket ghetto 22inch chrome wheels with low profile tires.... I could paint the polished silver accents and they’d look like every other black wheel out there.

My D2 is anything but girly lol.

Honestly, I sorta like em. I mean, I wouldn't buy them unless I got a real good deal, but they're FAR from ugly and I would run them.

Miles better than the 20" Rockstar XDs you see with low profile mud tires.

Thanks for the replies so far. What I am curious to know is do we share this bolt pattern with any other make truck?
As far as hubcentric, I believe we are somewhat screwed there as far as aftermarket, yes? I did post about hubcentric wheels but I don't think the conversation went very far.
I run these. I think they may be Rover North. Not hubcentric. Got them with the truck at 185K miles so not sure if they are bouncy due to non hubcentric, or that they have deformed through years of off road abuse. I think the latter. I dig these wheels and would really like to find similar.

Chevy S10, Camaro, several BMWS. Those are the ones I know off hand. Again, it's a pretty standard 5x120 pattern.

You're not understanding...he does all kinds of research about any advice or comments he makes on this board (as far as...this is what he told me)...so this is the way it is...your rig is "girly".


Truth be told...not sure why anyone, with half a brain, would comment about such matters...folks personal preference in their rigs is just that...their own.
