The Journey of Joi

[dondonbabyraptor]

I don’t mind the milled “beadlock” look either. Appreciate you looking. I couldn’t find anything either, so email or call seems the way to go. I always think when a wheel company doesn’t list the weight that means it’s a heavy wheel. So we’ll see. Which wheel on that list do you like?

If I were considering cost as if I purchased this myself, I would consider 3, the 970. I personally like the less crowded/less spoke design and they remind me of JDM wheels with an off-road touch. Plus, the cost is great vs the arkon, the other one I would consider from your set of wheels listed.

Really appreciate your input. I like the 970 for all the same reasons you listed, kind of ties back into cars of my youth. I usually steer away from busy wheels too but the Rocker and 544 are just so nice. The Rocker has a touch of BBS in there. I think the extra cost in the Arkon is definitely in the finish. Actually saw a set of Roosevelts on a truck today by my work and the finish is top notch. Thankfully I'm not in a hurry so I can let these choices marinate a bit longer.

No worries agreed that the rocker has that many spoke bbs look hehe. Honestly, any of those wheels will look good and it does sure sound like you have some marinating to do indeed cant wait to see whatever you choose on the truck.

There are folks who mention a poor fit but the fit is good in my opinion. Just used a heat gun for areas that needed a little help in molding to the body. Easy peasy

Okay, I’ve gone from five wheels down to the final two, first is the Vision Rocker, and second is the Moto Metal 970…both are 22x10 -18 offset in the gloss black finish. Thoughts? Which would you pick?

No dog in this fight but for what it's worth, I like the look (and ease of cleaning) of the Moto Metal.

Personally I like the Vision Rocker. I know they might not be easiest to clean but you can ceramic coat them or do what I do and hit it with 303 Graphene. I just spray on some cleaner, wait a couple minutes and it rinses off clean. I do use a power washer and a foam cannon though. Either way they both are a great choice and will look awesome!

I prefer the visions as well, but don't really clean my truck. Power washer or rain days

33s on negative off-set 22s is going look wild. Is Joi lifted?

Plan to level her using Bilstein 6112s and run 5160s in back. I can pull it off going with a 285 tire, crash bar trim/delete, and maybe some minor trimming. Although I may not have to trim anything.

Both look good, I would have to see other trucks with the Rocker type wheels. Imagining it wise, i think it would look nice either one you pick.

Sounds good, I'm excited to see it.

Suppose it would look kind of like this but with wheels that are a bit larger and in gloss black.

That looks really nice! I like that it gives it more detail inside the wheel. I wanted to get wheels when I got tires but couldn't find anything I liked that went with the Saber color. I figures if I was going to get black I might as well just stay with the stock ones. Plus I do go off road often and it's pretty rocky so I didn't want to trash nice new wheels.

Completely understandable. I’ve taken the truck out once for off-roading but I think I’d prefer milder situations like approaches to camp sites and what not. Nothing that would essentially damage the truck.
