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

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