Does anyone know what the base wheels are supposed to look like?

These have to be the trailer tow mirrors right?
Yeah the rendering puts a weird texture on them for some reason, but it is tow Mirrors with the standard wheels

Here’s a picture of the two kinds of wheels that come on a TRX (left is bead lock capable, right is the base wheel) - it’s the same for RHO. Note that these were from the final edition TRX, which was a special finish. Typically the base wheel is black, but I posted this picture because it’s a lot easier to make out the wheel shape

Thanks!
 
Darn, I regret not adding the beadlock wheels to my RHO Order.
Long shot but does anyone know if a finalized order can still be modified?

You can find take offs on marketplace for cheaper...

That being said I tried to modify my order and it said it wouldn't let them, might have also been when the system was down for the week though

Just like @Stojanowski was saying, no worries if you feel like you missed out on the beadlocks. I see them quite frequently when looking out for OEM parts at a cheaper price.

I ran into some here: https://www.jcwheelsandcaps.com/pro...-1500-2019-2022-beadlock-oem-charcoal-2735/62

I never did business with these folks before, but just an example that they are out there. I believe the beadlocks were an option for $1,895 in the build sheet and this place only wants $1,490.90.

Only difference is you’re getting 4 instead of 5 wheels and with no tires. Nevertheless if you didn’t end up getting them as an option it’s a really good price for 4.
 
I ordered beadlocks, but I want to order one more for spare tire as well. Has anyone done this?

On the TRX, the spare is a bead-lock (if you ordered bead-locks). I expect it to be the same with the RHO.
 
Yeeaaaah, those stock wheels are um welp I guess I'll look for aftermarket. Smacks himself for not getting the beadlock offering.
 
I like the base wheels for one reason…

I’m a little fanatical about cleaning every nook & cranny on my vehicles. I even remove the license plate on occasion of clean behind it. That beadlock ring would definitely have to be removed to get the wheel properly clean. That’s a lot of bolts & fuss. I’m not into it, especially since I don’t foresee using that feature.

Fun story: In 2005, I traded a Honda S2000 for a new Ram 2500 CTD. My salesman pushed his manager on my trade value, as he was amazed the car looked so new. After the deal was done, to further mess with the sales manager, he bet $20 that when the S2000 plate was transferred to the Ram, the area under the plate would be as clean as the rest of the car. Whoops! He lost that bet. But since that day, I’ve made sure to remove my plates at least twice a year to clean/polish/seal the paint or chrome under it!
 
That would be OCD no? I don't think I've ever thought about taking the plate off a couple times a year you got thinking damn it.

Well, I also deep-clean the wheelhouses about every other wash. I remove the wheels about once a month to clean & polish the barrels & brake calipers. It makes a huge difference.

Now, I did watch a guy detail his complete undercarriage on YouTube, including all the cross members & suspension pieces…OCD? Probably. I knew a guy who removed all his aluminum suspension components & polished them to a mirror shine. He said if the car saw any rain, it would take him 3 straight days to correct it. OCD? Definitely.
