Default Any opinions of these wheels?

I really like the look of the wheels on the arctic and mw3 jeep variants....don't want to pay the price though. Has anyone used or have any opinions on the Mamba MR-1 Black wheel? These seem to be the closest looking ones out there. I like the aev black wheels as well but hate the yellow center cap.

Thanks in advance!

The arctic and I think the MW3 jeeps are just MOAB keep wheels in a different color.. If you want them to look a darker color you could get them powder coated or bedlined. Or use plastic-dip on them

I have to agree. Your very first post is a question about 40 inch tires. Interesting.

How did we get on the subject of 40" tires?

Thanks for the info about the different color center caps! As for the yeti wheels...... Same thing as the arctic?

The Mamba wheels as far as I can tell look really close...wonder if they would hold up?

I believe the mamba wheels have 4.5" backspacing though which would be better for oversized tires. But I don't know that for a fact.
