The optional beadlocks look pretty good, but I'm also interested in higher end wheels like KMC and SCS. What other brands are out there in the high-end category? Not talking Method and Fuel.
 
Custom offsets has a pretty big selection of rims. I’m an oem man myself, I think the base wheels look better but to each their own.

They changed the front lower grill from grey with the TRX to black on the RHO which gives the base wheels nice contrast and body lines with some of the colors.

I almost got the beadlocks but after learning you had to buy options lock rings and have your tires reinstalled steered me away from them as I would probably not be airing down as much as I would be taking the kids to school.
 
The HRE FT1 is a good looking wheel.

Having owned a gladiator i don't want to go down this rabbit hole again..lol out of curiosity I was looking at the vossens on trx looks really nice. Are they for looks only or do they offer performance gains such as weight reduction vs stock wheel? I was planning on keeping my RHO stock other than tonneau cover unless there's something i can do to increase performance without losing MPG

The ones that I am looking at are from the HF series "Hybrid Forged" meaning that they should be lightweight and strong. From a weight perspective, I think when I looked this up, the stock wheels for the TRX were 30 lbs (assuming that there is no changes between what we get w the RHO). For comparison, an equivalent 18" from the Vossen HF series will be around 29-30 lbs also. 20" wheels are ~37 lbs and 22" ~45. From that perspective, comparatively against most cast wheels they would be lighter and allow you to keep a lot more of the OEM performance depending on your choices in the wheel and tire setup.

For me personally though, I wouldn't be even considering them if they didn't look good, but I know that this is subjective. I don't plan to be doing much off-roading in this truck, and I have a Jeep I use for that kinda fun. If I were though, I might be looking at something with bead grip technology, like in Method Race Wheels or just straight up beadlocks.

I think the stock look on these trucks looks damn good too! I'm just a junkie for changing things on my vehicles and too far gone to try and put that cat back in the bag.

Thanks from this if i keep with the 18 size then no performance loss. Maybe its a jeep thing but I prefer bigger tires so I don't think I'll consider the 22s. The 20s look just right to me but again heavier than stock. I sure miss my gladiator I'll def be looking into a used wrangler in the future next to my RHO
 
I recently sold my vossen and fuel rebels 20s when I settled for fuel shok 18s. For some reason prefer more tire since I hit hunting and fishing trails often. Hoping they didn't change brakes too much and will be just like trx and fit. Also who knows I might get rid of shok also because I really do like beadlocks wheels and there's plenty of them locally for sale.

I would not consider kmc or scs to offer a superior product than the factory forged beadlock capable wheels
Maybe a volk racing te37xt or titan7 wheel,if they offer an option for our trucks

Which model Vossen are you thinking?

All the black rhino wheels I like don't seem to be made compatible with our trucks but I'd REALLY like to get some 18" Warthogs that retain factory offset. E-mailed them twice now and pretty sure it just gets send to shred pile
 
When it comes to high end, anything other than forged, is obsolete. Vossen is a great brand, however, their Hybrid Forged are NOT light and not forged. We run them on our TRX and they are extremely heavy. Granted, they are 22's but still. Our previous set up were BC Forged and those were light. This was our TRX on the previous set up of BC Forged (which are for sale). Want even lighter, then go monoblock (1 piece)

Vossen's HF6-4 18 x 9" 6x139.7 +0 Hybrid Forged 6-Lug is what I'm looking at. I'm thinking of putting a 37x13.50 on these wheels. With the 0 offset I'm pretty sure it will work, may have to do a leveling kit not sure have to do more research.

You will have to do a leveling kit on 37's. Stand by on the Vossen's, we are currently working on a group buy on the HFX-1's and can probably include these into it.
 
I don't think so but like I said I have to do more research. I have seen many videos even from the manufacturer that 37's will fit no problem. Thanks for the comment.
 
Here`s some videos RHO with 37`s, the only thing I don`t like is they don`t tell you the width (12.50 or 13.50) only that there 37`s
