Unless tires are going to be bulletproof, I don’t understand the need for these wheels but maybe it’s just me.

It’s good to see a different approach to designing CT wheels though.

"Great for off-roading." Your wheels don't care if they get dirty, and I'm sure the other side is perfectly open. Closed faced wheels DO NOT PREVENT "CLOGGING"; in fact, they fill with mud and debris more efficiently as there's no where for it to go as it fills in from the backside!

No 18" option? I struggle to take these as "off-road" wheels if they aren't offering an 18" option.

I'd prefer trail proof wheels, low pressure proof wheels, but bullets? Got bullet proof tires? Didn't think so.

Comments like this make my advertising bs detector go off. Munro used to be about engineering and efficiency, now I'm just seeing money grabs with trendy nonsense like this.

Don't get me wrong, I actually like how they look! I'd buy them just because I think they match the truck nicely, have good load ratings, and fit under the fender. But the way they're presented is, just, ugh...

LoL, thats what I said. Where's the 18" and beadlock : (

They may be engineers but they need to learn how to market the wheels correctly. They should MSRP for:

-$4,399
-$3,999
-$3,799

They may not clog up with mud but the wheel pokes out and will be prone to scratching. Not ideal against curbs or off roading on rocky sections of the trail.

Off road wheels with curb rash

The point is that they're stronger, lighter, and aerodynamic. The bulletproof isn't particularly important for wheels, given that the tires on the wheels are by definition not bulletproof.

Bulletproof is a marketing ploy to help differentiate their wheels from the competition.

same reason you need a bulletproof Cybertruck. ?

Aerodynamic...Maybe. Good looking...definitely not. People need to stop making their $100K plus truck look like crap with closed wheels. I was shocked at how ugly the aero wheels are on the Model 3, especially since just popping off the hubcap reveals as decent looking wheel. But I just assume most people buying the Model 3 don't know a lot about cars and vehicle Aesthetics . But if your buying a $60k+ vehicle you should know.

Does it come with bulletproof tires?

Only the best from MAX TREK aka Zhaoqing Junhong Co., Ltd. ? (google search). Was curious as I've never heard of this tire brand, and that tread looks like it just drains the range.

I like the look.. 18” would be nice..

Macgreiner · Sep 16, 2024

Aren't all wheel rims bullet proof? I don't mind the look. Efficiency measurements would be interesting?

Damn, sandy is the man at digging and testing products.
being a YouTuber has gone to his head, stay in your lane.
