I thought argent was Spanish for silver.

Is a picture worth a thousand votes?


Haven't seen argent on the flame red that I can remember.

My opinion:
Flame Red - Silver
Red Rock - Argent

I have argent (on red rock) and I like them but the brighter rims would look better on the brighter paint color.

I like the argents better on all colors. You can't go wrong with either though. They are nice looking wheels. if the back spacing works for you.

Another bonus with silver - it won't show chips, scratches, and rock rash as bad as the darker argent.

This is a really good thread. I had the same question and thanks for posting the picture. It helps. Now would you go with 16s or 17s with 35s?

Is there a wait on the aevs?

I like silver da best.

Regarding running 35's - probably 16" wheels but if you think you might go to 37's one day maybe 17".

I would also check the tire choices for both the 16 and 17 inch wheels to help decide, and ask the folks at AEV what they suggest.

I voted Silver, but I really think you should get Argents


But only because I really want the Silver ones for our Flame Red JK!
