- What's goin' on guys?
Fuller here from Custom Offsets, Custom Offsets TV
on the YouTube with another one of those top five,
top 10 videos you guys seem to love.
So today we're doing the top underrated wheels.
So basically the wheels that some people haven't heard of.
They're not that popular.
So for you subscribers, returning subscribers,
you can relax, I'm not gonna mention the TS544
or the ARKON Lincoln in this video
'cause those seem to get brought up
in every other video.
So these are gonna be the underrated ones.
The underdogs of the wheel industry.
We're exposing them, putting 'em out to you guys
so that if you want to be that guy
who runs a unique wheel that not everybody has, you can.
So jumping right in it,
we're starting with a brand called Tuff
which is probably one that you might not have heard of
and specifically the model that I like the most
is gonna be the T23.
So this is a very, very thin split spoke wheel.
It almost looks forged in just how it's made
and the construction.
So I was lookin' at a black and milled one
and the way they taper the spokes down
just gets thinner and thinner and thinner
as it gets to that outer barrel
and it really does give that forged appearance
and you're gonna pay, for a 22 by 14,
right around 1800 bucks.
Just a little bit less than 1800 bucks.
So you get a really, really sick looking wheel
that not everybody has, it looked forged,
for less than 1800 bucks
which isn't bad for a set of four shipped
to your door for free.
Second on the list is the Dropstar 652 BM
which stands for black and milled.
So this wheel, the insane thing about it
is that in a 22 by 14, it's less than $1000
for the set of four.
So, that right off the bat, is something
that's really awesome.
But you also get this crazy deep lip too.
So the way that they designed the wheel,
they actually have the spokes dipping backwards
so it gives this larger lip.
Even on a 10 wide and a 12 wide,
you do have massive lips, like the 10 wide, I think,
has a six inch lip which you usually don't see
until you get a 12 wide.
And then on a 14 wide, you're looking
at a 10 inch lip, I believe, on there,
last time I measured one.
So absolutely massive lip
and a pretty good styled wheel
all for a really, really good price.
So, as far as style goes on there,
again, it's like a split spoke
but kinda has this twisted design
and then there's multi-level milling on there,
so, there's a lotta options
as well as a couple different finish choices
and it's available for just about
every single bolt pattern out there.
Next in line is actually gonna be
the entire Asanti off-road lineup.
So a lot of people know Asanti from the car world
or the wheels that they make
for your G-Wagons and all these big bodied cars,
you know, your BMW 750s and so on,
that everybody's like shovin' 30s and 28s onto.
All that kinda stuff.
The really, really big wheel
with really skinny tires.
But Asanti actually not too long ago
released an off-road line up
and people I think were kinda scared because of the name.
They know Asanti's associated
with relatively high priced wheels
but when it comes to truck wheels,
you can get a 22, or, I'm sorry, a 20 by 12
for just over 1300 bucks which really isn't bad
as far as standard prices go for a 20 by 12 wheel.
Now, I personally like the, I think it's AB 80 set,
it's gonna be my favorite wheel,
but really they have a couple different options.
They've got one that looks like
the old school Corvette saw blade
if you're into some of those, like,
retro or heritage style wheels
but they put a modern twist on it.
And then the finish quality just looks amazing on them too.
I mean, it's from Asanti,
they do a good job building wheels.
They've been building wheels for a long time, so.
Cool to see them branch off into the truck world.
So next on our list is actually the CaliOffRoad Rawkon.
And now this wheel, when I first saw it come out
at SEMA, I thought it was absolutely amazing.
It's this multi-spoke, split V, overlaid intricate,
laced pattern that was just something
totally new to the market
that not a lotta people were doing.
Plus they offered in a matte black finish
which, again, was something that not everyone was doing
and theirs just looked really, really good.
So I really dug that wheel,
especially when it first came out.
I thought people were gonna buy it.
I thought it was gonna be a big mover
but it really isn't.
There's not a lotta people out there running it
and I think it looks absolutely killer
on the show-builds in some of the larger sizes.
And it does have some concavity to it
which is nice so you get both a nice big lip
as well as some concavity
so it's one of those hybrid styles that's been so popular.
So, CaliOffRoad Rawkon, another one that I'm surprised
hasn't been as popular as we expected.
As far as price point goes on these,
they're right about 1200 bucks
which isn't bad for a 20 by 12.
Now what we do with most wheel brands
and CaliOffRoads in particular
is if you wanna package these things up with tires,
we can always ship you the complete package
and you actually save some money off the wheels too.
Like, about 250 bucks on these guys.
Next on the list, we actually have another wheel
from CaliOffRoad and this one's gonna be the Switchback.
So as far as style goes here,
you're lookin' at basically this inner design
which is milled out and then spins to the left
and then you're looking at the outer design
which is the black part of the wheel
that spins to the right so hence the name Switchback.
You kinda got one of these things going on.
Now, unfortunately, they aren't proper directional
or two-directional which means
on side they'll be going one way
and on the other side they'll be going the other way
but I do think it's another one of those underrated wheels
that I just haven't seen a lotta people running them
and I'm kinda surprised 'cause I do think
it's a really, really good looking wheel.
In a 22 by 12 you do pay a little more,
it's just short of 1600 bucks,
but again, like I was mentioning just before
with the last CaliOffRoads.
On these when you package 'em up with tires,
you can save up to like $350.
So if you're lookin' for that complete package set,
that's where you can really save some money,
puttin' these things together with some tires.
So I know I told ya I wasn't gonna mention
the Lincoln in here which is true, I'm not.
But I am gonna mention the ARKON Cleopatras.
Now, a lotta people have been running these
in more of a, like, off-road type set up,
the 20 by 10s, maybe 20 by 12 kinda thing.
But they're not underrated there.
Everybody' doin' that.
It's not that crazy.
Where they are underrated is in the large sizes.
So you can actually get these things in a 24 by 14
and ARKON has been discounting them
so they're like 1400 bucks for this massive 24 by 14.
It's negative 81 offset
and they just look really sweet when they get that big
because the windows where they have all the milling going on
is just so much more separated
and so far apart that it just gives this wheel
a really aggressive styling.
Plus, they are proper directional
which means you have a different part number
left and right so that your wheels
are always facing the right direction
depending on whatever way you want to put them on,
so that's something really cool.
And especially like I said, for just over 1400 bucks there,
there aren't many wheels on the market you can do that with
unless you spend the money to go forged.
Then we've got another newcomer.
This one's MOTIV Off-Road which you may
or may not have heard of.
We did some videos on these guys when we met them
last year at SEMA and today I'm talking specifically
about the Magnus.
So in a 20 by 12, you're looking
at less than $1000 for these which,
like I said previously, less than 1000 bucks
for a set of four wheels is something
that in my book I consider a really good price
for four wheels plus shipping and all that stuff, so.
MOTIV is a new company that actually listened to people too.
So everybody was saying get rid of the rivets,
we don't like the rivet style anymore.
So, right off the bat, these guys introduced their wheels,
they got rid of the rivets,
they put the name really cleanly along the rim of the wheel
and it just looks really, really sharp.
They kinda took a traditional design and,
I guess not traditional in the sense of,
like, old-school, but just simple and clean,
a split spoke, with not a lot going
and they just made it look really, really good
with high quality, like, automotive grade paints.
And, we actually saw a couple custom color finishes
at SEMA where people were taking
like, a red clear, and spraying it over the black wheels
and just gave it this, like, black cherry kinda look.
So, it was really, really unique,
really cool stuff goin' on there
which is always an option, you can always take
whatever wheels you want and do something like that to 'em.
But MOTIV is a great base to start with
if you're lookin' for somethin' new
that not everybody has and when I've seen them
on these show builds, they just look absolutely insane.
Number eight is gonna be the XD Chopsticks
and for a 20 by 12, you're actually gonna pay
less than $900 for these
which is also pretty insane.
The finishes that I was looking at before I made
this video to see what was all out there
was the one that's actually got a chrome barrel
and a chrome, like, a chrome rim,
I guess you could say, of the wheel,
and then a black face.
Again, this is more of a concave wheel
and it's got this overlaid kinda spoke design.
So it's taking some features from other wheels,
adding in a whole bunch of concavity,
not having that lip on there but because it's chrome
and you can see all the way through,
it still gives it a lipped appearance.
There's just a lot going on with wheel
that I think it's really underrated
and more people should be puttin' it on their trucks.
Number nine is gonna be the Anthem Defender.
So 20 by 12 here's gonna run ya about 1300 bucks
but what's unique about these guys
is they actually have removable inserts
so you can custom paint them
to whatever color you want.
So if you're not a professional painter
or you don't wanna pay to have somebody else do it.
These are just little plastic pieces
that you can undo with the common tools
you probably have at your house.
If you wanna rattle can 'em
and they turn out like crap, that's fine,
they're really to just, you know, paint a different color.
So, it's just super easy to customize these wheels
and I think that's why they're a bit underrated
and that more people could be running these
and really taking that next level
of customization and adding it to their vehicle.
You know, anybody can really go out and buy
a set of black wheels and throw it on their truck
and for most people that works just fine
and it looks great
but if you're that guy that wants the extra attention
to detail, add a little bit of color,
but you don't wanna pay for it necessarily,
the Anthem Defender might be a wheel for you.
Plus these things look absolutely insane on Jeeps.
I feel like these were designed for the Jeeps.
They just look really good
in that off-road kinda styled market.
So, after that we have number 10
which I'm actually gonna leave up to you.
You can drop your comments below
and let us know which wheel you think is underrated
in the truck market or hit up the website
at customoffsets.com, find the wheel you want,
and then let us know if you're not quite sure.
Otherwise, wheels, tires, suspension, that's all what we do.
We'll mount and balance 'em, ship 'em for free
in lower 48 states and yeah, that's really the plug
there at the end and I'm just come flat out and say that.
Peace.
