- Hey, guys, Shawn, again, Custom Offsets,
Custom Offsets TV on YouTube.
My name is not Shawn Again.
What I'm saying is Shawn, again,
here on Custom Offsets TV, got that question.
This is another episode of Hot N New
and this is gonna be your Monster Energy 649 BA,
so that's Black and Anthracite.
The first thing that jumps out on this wheel,
I'll just dive right into it,
is that Anthracite simulated beadlock,
so it's got like a gray metallic really cool finish to it
and, that whole thing, it's not gonna be
like a plastic snap-on or bolt-on cover;
it's actually cast into the wheel.
So, you'll see from, you know, my fingers go behind here,
that it's got a groove all the way around there.
And then, same thing, obviously,
it's coming right to the lip of the wheel.
It's actually gonna be the outer lip of the wheel,
so that bead is cast right on there
and it's a nice thick chunky piece.
So, it's simulated, but it's not done cheaply.
It's cast right into it.
And then, you'll see that channel runs all the way around
and then it goes to the Satin Black for the rest of it,
so you'll see it's a split spoke design all the way around,
giving kind of that X-style design all the way around.
And then, they worked in
some additional design styling, here, into the spokes,
just kind of making it
a complex, lots-going-on, cool-looking wheel
to give it more and more character.
These are all coming, the Monster Energy, it looks like,
with the exposed lug nuts,
so if you wanted to, you could run a spike lug nut.
I feel this one also,
just like the other Monster Energy wheel
that we're doing for Hot N New,
wouldn't be one I would run spike lug nuts.
I think this is more of an off-road,
kind of tough-looking wheel.
The sizes would also say that's what it is.
There's a 17 by 8 1/2, an 18 by nine
and a 20 by nine and they're gonna come
in both a zero and a positive 18 offset
and what that typically means is
it's gonna either run flush on most trucks
or tucked just inside the fender,
giving it that off-road look.
So, the concept of these is
kind of the prerunner, off-road,
seeing a lot of these on Jeeps,
seeing a lot of them on the prerunner builds
or the prerunner concepts that people are shooting for
as far as the design they're running.
So, this one here is a 20 by nine wide
and it's gonna be the zero offset
and the only measurement I would say
you'd really pull off of this one is
how far back the spokes are from that front lip
and they're back there about 2 1/2 inches,
so that space, right here,
for that channel is about 2 1/2 inches
that the whole face is set back from that beadlock
and then it's a fairly flat face on it.
It doesn't really have the concaving
or anything like that.
It's more of a nice clean flat look to it.
This one also has the Monster cap
that's got the raised logo on it,
so it's not just painted on there.
It's actually a raised molded plastic logo
and then you'll see it's got the small center cap like this
with the exposed lug nuts
and it's got almost,
like a locking-hub style center cap on it.
You can see it's got the grooves cut all the way around
and then it's got the bolts going all the way around
for the cap.
So, as far as pricing,
these are running at typical name-brand range,
so being that it's Monster Energy,
it's gonna run in there with your other name-brand wheels
in that $800, $900 range for the 18s and 20s
and be pretty competitive with all of those.
As far as finishes,
this Satin Black
with the Anthracite beadlock all the way around it
is gonna be the only finish
that one's gonna come in,
so that's gonna only come in that one color
and then those three different sizes.
So, boom, that is your Monster Energy six,
oh, let me get it right, 649, I believe,
649 BA which is Black Anthracite.
Peace.
