Relbus, what are the specs on the tires and wheels? looking at both Methods and Fuel just need to figure proper diameter/width.offset. Thank you!!

I am running a 2.25” Thuren Leveling Kit. The wheels are Fuel Coverts 20x9 with a +1 offset. Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35x12.5x20. Absolutely zero trimming. Was even able to install Rek Gen Trophy Sport Mud Flaps still with no trimming or rubbing.

So I took my AEVs to the powder coater. I said I wanted something "dark bronzish, not too light, not flat, some metallic, not so flashy that they detract from the overall look of the truck."
Kind of put it in his hands to come up with something, he said he thought he had a good color to go on them.
He also worked w/ a local paint company to mix up a can to hit the center caps.
I want something a little different, but not so different that it looks "WTF?" :D

I am not 100% sold yet on this.
I think I need to wash the truck (it's filthy), try comparing them not in direct morning sun, maybe with tires. He said if I put them on, and I don't love them, bring them back, we can find a different color etc. and re-shoot them.
I think the center caps may need a couple more coats. In the shade, or straight on, it's pretty close. But as you can see in the sun at an angle, they look a bit brighter. I know that's a tough match.

TBH, i think those would look KILLER on white or black truck.

However, on GCM (the best color! :p), i do not feel there is enough contrast in colors.

Yeah there is not a ton of contrast in those first pics. I took some more today with the trim ring on them. They are a funky color...they change a good bit.
Being that my truck is Night Edition, I didn't want something TOO bright, like the majority of the bronze wheels out there.
It's tough. Here's a few more with the sun going down, instead of coming up like the first pics.
If you notice the trim ring, it's pretty darn close to the color of the truck, so now you can see the wheels are a bit different in color depending on how the sun hits 'em.


These were taken just as the sun was going down.

These were taken after the sun had just gone down over the trees but still light out.
Colors are a bit muted in this light.

As I was posting the previous photos, my new wheels were going on. Black Rhino Armory, 20x12 et-44. No rub, whereas I did get a little rub on the inside of the tire with the Fuel Rogue. Same backspacing, but putting a 15.5” tire on a 12” wheel pulled the tire out and away from the rubbing spot.

Thanks! I've only done bits and pieces, AEV did most of it. But I do prefer the larger wheel/tire combo, it's a little more meat and it fills the wheel well better. I don't do any major rock crawling with a truck this long, so I don't need infinite amounts of sidewall...10" is plenty.

Slightly different angle:
