Agreed Tombie :)

Gordon inadvertently helped make my decision as he was not able to supply Black rims prior to my vehicle pick up, as the factory in UK had no stock.

Nonetheless I prefer the look of the 19" and if they don't perform to my expectations then I always have the choice to go to the GOE 18"

My next dilemma is do I powder coat the 19" rims Black or just keep them standard.
I love the White/Black theme but I'm worried the rims will get more of a working with the lower profile tyres. This just means more touch ups with a spray can. The standard alloy look still catches the eyes and would probably be a more sensible/cheaper decision to to leave them be.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Dont go black GOE wheels,the grey look much better:):):):):)
They match the plastic on the vehicle,recently in Albany we had 3 white D4's parked together.2 had the grey GOE wheels,1 had the black.The black GOE wheels didnt look as nice as ours,almost looked out of place as it had a white bar.I should have taken a pic.

Guys what are your thoughts on the Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs in a 255/55-19 compared the Maxxis?

Overall performance on/off road and would one be noisier than the other?

Maxxis is a 119 LT and the sidewall is tougher.

Duratrac is a XL construction (softer sidewalls)

Having said that Basil runs Duratracs and is very happy.

Both are pretty quiet for an open AT

It comes down to personal preference. I have a set of grey and a black spare. I think the grey matches in better with window tint and trim.

Grey looks much better
I color match some RRS wheels to door handles.
Reasonably happy with Duratracs.

Not if you have a Black Pack [emoji48]

I love the Black Pack on White.
Just worried about wheels getting damaged if I powder coat them, being 19"
